Hi,

This looks like a strange error to stumble upon, so my suggestion is
probably out of band, but try setting a different session name in your
config.php (so that your browser cookies have different names for
different sites), for example:

  # at the beginning of local/config.php of your private wiki:
  session_name('pmwiki-private');

  # at the beginning of local/config.php of your public wiki:
  session_name('pmwiki-teaching');
