A work-around for this issue is to replace step #3 with:

    history.replaceState({}, null, currentURL);
    location.replace(nextURL);

where 
    currentURL = "http://www.webkit.org/" or "/" 
    nextURL = "/blog/"

for the demo given above. 

This work-around can cause a flash of the currentURL in the address bar, and it seems bizarre that this should work while the straight-forward code path fails.
