Example

When the HTML Meta element specifies a refresh event to occur after 0 seconds
and the URL is a JavaScript URL then the Safari UI always shows "Loading..."
and it can't be canceled (by clicking on the X to the right of the word
"Loading...").

Notice Window->Activity does not show that anything is loading. So, I believe
this is a UI issue (though, I have not had a chance to confirm).

Note, this issues seems to happen for any JavaScript URL, regardless of whether
the JavaScript results in a modal dialog like in the example. For instance, it
occurs for: <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=javascript:0">
