A much shorter way to reproduce the issue (sending If-Modified-Since header
with request):

$ telnet projecteuclid.org 80
Trying 128.84.158.74...
Connected to projecteuclid.org.
Escape character is '^]'.

Connection: close

Why is WebKit caching this page?  It has a question mark in the URL, which
commonly means it's a CGI script and shouldn't be cached.  Perhaps it's the use
of location.replace() that's causing it to be cached?

This seems to be the root of the problem since other browsers don't appear to
cache this document, or they at least don't send an If-Modified-Since header
when requesting the document a second time.
