You opened a radar ticket for what looks like a similar issue (except
in Firefox) a few years ago: http://openradar.appspot.com/6025243

I don't know much about how the com.apple.quarantine attribute is set
by the OS, but given the similarities (gaining the attribute on a file
that isn't downloaded), I can't help but think that they're possibly,
somehow related.

Just something I found while Googling the text of Kahil's inquiry,
minus the UUID.
