The problem is that the cookies interfere each other.
More specifically, I think that the qtranslate cookie is not well
handled (maybe it is not the only one in that case) when you are
logged in.
That's just an hypothesis.
However, we have published a lot of posts using qtranslate, therefore
if we deactivate this plugin, we will get a mess when displaying the
old posts.
A workaround is:
-- log out (from WP)
-- delete all the cookies of blog.openmandriva.org
-- verify that you are actually logged out; if needed, restart the browser
-- log in again
