Flash deep linking will cause the page to reload on the first attempt, but after that seems to work flawlessly.
I can only confirm that this happens when using the SWFAddress script (http://www.asual.com/swfaddress/) but imagine it happens using a homegrown deep linking script as well.
Safari 1.3 and 2 do not encounter this problem.

Clicking on the "About" link loads a URL of "http://www.asual.com/swfaddress/samples/flash/?#/about/" in WebKit, while in Camino it loads "http://www.asual.com/swfaddress/samples/flash/#/about/". The extra ? leads to a different URL being loaded from the server. The refresh is correct given the URL, but the URL difference between browsers definitely indicates a problem.

The cause of this issue appears to be differing behaviour when submitting a GET form with no input elements. Safari 2.0 submits to the exact same URL, while current WebKit appends the ? to the end of the URL. More recent versions of the SWFAddress code (the current SVN version, for example) only use a hidden form to change the location for versions of Safari < 412.
I suspect this can be considered a site bug as Camino behaves in the same fashion as current WebKit when it executes the same JavaScript code.

Downgrading from P1 because I think this may be the expected behaviour.

Right, this was a fix for bug 8051.

Happens to me as well. Reproduced at http://www.mycokerewards.com/. Every link produces a full page refresh.

Flash plugins were deprecated long ago.
