I have a different set of symptoms on the same platform (en.wikipedia.org,
Safari 5, Vector skin) perhaps caused by the same script:

1. On any page, enter a search term and go to that page.
2. Use a keyboard shortcut to go back to the previous page (command-left-arrow
or command-[ )
3. The page comes up with the search box empty, but with focus.
4. BUG: Within a tenth of a second, the search box fills in with the previously
entered search term, and you are sent back to that page!

The bug also happens on other Wikipediae  (e.g. de.wikipedia.org)
The bug does not occur in Firefox 3.6.13.
The bug does not occur if you use the menu (History > Back) or the toolbar
button.
The bug does not occur if you use a different skin, like Monobook.
The bug is not affected by the "Disable access keys" Wikipedia preference.
The bug is not affected by the "Disable AJAX suggestions" or "Enable enhanced
search suggestions" preferences.

If within that tenth-of-a-second in step 4 above, I manage to click on the page
body, to remove the focus from the search box.  Then the *next* time I go to
the previous page, Safari will remain on the page; the bug appears to require
focus to be in the search box.

If within that tenth-of-a-second, I instead clear the search box, then I am
taken to the generic search page:
(http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=)

These symptoms are extremely annoying, smack in the middle of my normal
Wikipedia workflow, so I am upvoting the bug to "major".  (The popup dialog in
the original bug is even more annoying, but at least I could disable it!)
