Yes, I know about that option. It does not do anything in this case - this
is why I used 'actually' in my question. I've suggested checking this option
in the past but recently found that it doesn't do what I hoped it would.

Exactly. The option you refer to does not seem to affect redirects.

Has anyone actually found a way to turn off this 'feature' in IE 5 or 6 for
Windows? I haven't found an option to do this in 6.0.2800.

I'm having the same issue. The only workaround I've found is to redirect to
a secure page that uses some combination of JavaScript, refreshing via
 and plain links. Browsers don't seem to think these kinds of
redirects are worthy of alerts.
