Vote locked? But I haven't voted on the answer...

Question

I was trying to vote on Jin's answer to this question, but for some reason Stack Exchange thinks I've already voted on it.

I don't particularly care if my vote doesn't get counted in this instance, but I still think this is some bug. alt text

Neither up nor down votes work -- both give the same message.

Are you sure you were logged in at the moment you tried it? Because Meta's login is well... messy at times — Ivo Flipse, Nov 11 '10 at 13:03

@Resorath The question I linked to was last active 9 months ago... was there any development outside that question?

I seem to recall this having been fixed a while ago...

The comments to the accepted answer suggest it was changed in April of 2011 so that you could always vote if no arrow was lit up.
