Just to update: this still happens after a handful of semi-recent system updates (Safari now 5.0.5 (6533.21.1), Mac OSX 10.6.7 build 10J4138).
This is a really annoying bug, and I'd really like to help track it down. Anyone else have this problem? I really dislike bumping my own thread, but since no one has responded, I am not even 100% sure that this is getting sent to the group properly! If you just need more information, tell me what you need and I'd be happy to provide it.
