Not in cases analologous to what would happen during a "cross-site" scripting attack.

problems go away?

Cross-site scripting is when when scripts from one site try to access content from another.  Today's browsers prevent this from happening. Watir runs into to the same barriers when you navigate from a page hosted from one site to a frame hosted by another. Your hosts file change makes all these frames & pages come from a single site.

It would be great if someone on this list would put together a wiki page describing this problem.
