As best as I can tell, http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/history.html does not mention this behavior. It alludes to something similar in section 5.4.4 though: "In addition, a user agent could ignore calls to pushState() that are invoked on a timer, or from event listeners that are not triggered in response to a clear user action, or that are invoked in rapid succession."

I tested Firefox 3.6 (Mac) and IE 8 (Windows 7), and both handle the hp.com case correctly, but not the persistent.info test case. They may special-case programatic fragment navigation (vs. whole page navigation). I'll see if I can come up with another test case, and see how they behave on the bugs that http://crrev.com/18373 was trying to fix (http://crbug.com/11896 and http://crbug.com/12820)
