At least the latest Chrome 5.0.307.11 beta, and the latest Safari, there is
definitely a problem where hidden values of forms are remembered and reloaded
incorrectly. That may be related to this problem.

Here is the scenario:

Page A: user is shown a form M, with hidden form field named X whose value is
M_x. There is also a form N, with hidden form field named X whose value is N_x.

User POSTS to go to page B.

User hits back button to go back to Page A.

In form M, the value for X is now N_x, not M_x as it should be.

Basically, hidden field values should not be replaced when loading a form, and
it seems like the browser is trying to auto fill-in previous values for these
fields, and doing so incorrectly, nevertheless.

There are other ways to re-produce this problem, with other sequences of
actions, all involving the back button. I will dig more in Bugzilla and file a
bug if I don't see a relevant issue, but I think it may be related to this.
