If we can't fix this, let's at least put an error on the page saying we don't work

@johngruen Any thoughts on what error message we could show here?

We can set a query string when we reload the page, and give up after reloading once or twice, but I'm not sure how we'd want to message this to the user.

John's suggestion: if we can't auth after one or two tries, just redirect to homepage

I have retested this issue and is no longer reproducible on dev and stage servers. Marking as verified.
