This happens when php stops listening to the request after post_max_size is reached. When that happens, the mime request cannot be properly decoded, so no post variables come through (including the nonce).
18474.diff will detect the problem when a nonce fails and will give the proper error message, but there's nothing we can do about it from within WP.

Patch to detect truncated POST requests
