Confirmed with a local debug build of WebKit r28711 with Safari 3.0.4 (523.12)
on Mac OS X 10.4.11 (9S165).

* STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch Safari/WebKit.
2. Open a URL with a link to another page that uses basic authentication: 
http://www.macosforge.org/
3. Command-click (or right-click and select "Open Link in New Tab") the "Login"
link in the upper right-hand corner of the page (you may have to scroll to the
right).
4. Click on the new tab (which should have an alert icon on it).
5. Hit Escape to dismiss the auth sheet.
6. Try to click on a link on the page, or scroll it.

* RESULTS
The image shown on the new tab is simply an image of the first page, but
doesn't really do anything.  Note that if you hit Command-A to select the
entire page, it "disappears".

* REGRESSION
This is a regression from Safari 2.  In Safari 2, the new tab is focused
immediately (with a blank page), so that hitting Escape to dismiss the auth
sheet will leave you with a blank page.  In Safari 3, the auth sheet doesn't
drop until you switch to the tab, but hitting Escape will leave the image of
the original page.  This is very confusing to the user since they expect to be
able to scroll the page or click on links!
