I'd love to have some feedback on this. It's just a workaround for Safari. An alternative, more invasive, workaround would be to check in moveTo if the URL has changed, and if it hasn't, not call display:none in the first place. That would require overriding moveTo to actually call getURL on the tile before setting display:none, but might end up being a better solution, since we don't have to 'flicker' the tiles in that case. I just tried to hack that together, and failed, but I spent from 1am -> 5am finding the bug and talking it over with webkit devs, so I'm probably not really well qualified. I would really like to get this fixed in 2.6, now that I know it's fixable, though.
