I'm not sure what IE does as I don't know how to set it's UA to a mobile browser to trigger the problem on Wikipedia. I've been struggling a bit to find a desktop site that has this odd behavior.

Wikipedia loads this script: http://bits.wikimedia.org/w/extensions/WikimediaMobile/MobileRedirect.js?2

which triggers the problematic redirect. I've been trying to write a reduced test case to avoid the need to load mobile wikipedia to repro the bug, but haven't been able to yet. That redirect script looks pretty simple, I'm not sure why it seems to be causing this odd behaviour. Maybe someone more experienced with the history navigation code may have some ideas.

Cheers, Ben
