Thanks @knx, you sent me down the right path. Here's the monkeypatch I came up with, which seems to be working:

class ActionController::Response
  def set_cookie_with_security(key, value)
    value = { :value => value } if Hash != value.class
    value[:secure] = true
    set_cookie_without_security(key, value)
  end
  alias_method_chain :set_cookie, :security
end

What do you think?
