Seems to have caused a furor in Apple forums:

Keith Lam, an ESPN website developer, says it's fixed -- BUT one has to restart the machine first (?!), not just the browser:

The restart did fix the issue.

Is this type of brokenness related to WebKit core?

I can confirm that the bug is fixed by the site developers. Worth to say the site also crashed Firefox. Per comment #4 marked as fixed an evangelism bug.
