Is'nt that standard behaviour for both the browsers. Even in Netscape, if
the page you are currently viewing was generated after a form submission
from the previous page, hitting refresh will cause the browser to re-post
the form.
The thing is, refresh will reload the page for you. If it is a static page,
it will simply make a get request to the web server and get the latest and
greatest copy of that page for you, on the other hand, if it is a
dynamically generated page, it will need to make a post to the web server
along with all your values as was done in the previous request.
This is standard behaviour, and AFAIK, there's nothing you can do about it.
