Okay, now this is interesting.  I have since tried it with links2 
(javascript support enabled, not that that should matter), and am able to 
get to the admin page.

I get this notice: "One or more problems were detected with your Drupal 
installation. Check the status report for more information."

The status report has no more information--no notices or warnings of any 
kind.

So maybe this is a lynx problem?  But why then would I receive cookies 
from other drupal installations?

Theory:
5.1 detects the browser as lynx, assumes that it can't handle 
cookies, and reverts to session IDs passed via URL, which is no longer 
supported.
Is that a possibility?  If so, changing lynx to fake the useragent would 
be a way around it, although a very inconvenient one.
