Can't view private site for which I am administrator

  I have two admin accounts for ch-art.org (own domain mapped from test4chart.wordpress.com). One is the account used when the site was created, another was added afterwards via an invite. When I log in as either admin user with the site set to private, then click the View Site link under My Site, I am redirected to the login panel and can’t view the site. If I enter my credentials (again), nothing happens (since I am already logged in).

  Is this expected behaviour? If not, I suspect I know what the cause is but the full explanation is complicated. In short, I created test4chart.wordpress.com) as user abosse, then upgraded to Premium and mapped it to ch-art.org. Next, I changed the account name, using a new email address. I think the next step is where things got messed up: since I now had a new user name, and didn’t need the user account previously associated with this site, I deleted this (abosse) account from wordpress.com. This appeared to cause no problems initially, but I think that after this point, I was no longer to view the site as admin, when set to private.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
