Further investigation reveals that point (b) mentioned in the original report
is crucial to seeing WebKit exhibit the incorrect behaviour to which this bug
report refers.

In other words, if an ordinary HTML link refers the user agent to the current
URL, then the second version of this URL is - correctly - what is stored in
WebKit's 'back button history', so that if the user agent visits a second URL
and the user then clicks the back button, they again see the second version of
the first URL.

On the other hand, if a Flash animation refers the user agent to the current
URL, the first version of this URL is what is stored in WebKit's back button
history, so that when the user visits a second URL and then clicks Back, they
see the first version of the first URL again.

This suggests that there is some flaw in WebKit's handling of URL commands
passed to it by plug-ins. If nothing else, the way WebKit handles a URL load
request passed from a plug-in is materially different from the way it handles a
URL load request passed from WebKit itself.
