Export to github results in redirect loop

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Exporting my projects to github with the github exporter have all failed and 
created redirect loops trying to access my repo when I'm logged in. If I'm 
logged out, I can access the repo.

I see this output in Chrome when surfing to the repo:

The webpage at https://import.github.com/auth/github has resulted in too many 
redirects. Clearing your cookies for this site or allowing third-party cookies 
may fix the problem. If not, it is possibly a server configuration issue and 
not a problem with your computer.

This is on Linux, using Chrome 41
