This, as well as the issue mentioned in comment #4, is caused by a bug in IE
where it fires the beforeunload event even when clicking a link like <a
href="javascript:doStuff()">show/hide</a>, even though clicking such a link
doesn't lead to unloading the page. The solution is to avoid these javascript:
links and use other click handlers in some way (in combination with href="#"
and the handler returning false). A quick and dirty patch for
[[en:MediaWiki:Edittools.js]] along these lines that I've confirmed works in
both FF 3.6 and IE 8 can be found at
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Catrope/Edittools.js&diff=366551331&oldid=366550829
.

Short version: this is a bug in IE affecting the specific way these charinsert
and show/hide links are set up. It's easy to work around by setting up these
links differently.

Fixed in r67526, will be deployed later today. Marking the bug as FIXED, as the
other issue is an IE-specific bug that needs to be worked around locally.
