I tried to open http://www.gnome.org/~shaunm/pulse/web/ in Midori, and unexpectedly saw a 'download' dialogue. So I fired up Arora to see if the webpage was broken or WebKitGTK, and voilá, same problem. Three's the charm, so I tried Firefox as well - there it displays the webpage just fine.
The supposed MIME type is "content-type:text/html", so either libsoup's parsing or WebKit's parsing is doing something wrong here.

looks like a variation of bug #24750

According to Rik, on IRC, this also happens in Safari. I also checked with Arora (QtWebKit), and it has the same problem, so it may be a good thing to make WebCore's Content-Type parsing more robust, instead of working this around in WebKitGTK+ or libsoup.
I will try to get shaunm to fix his headers for now, though =).

I just started seeing this a day or two ago. Using the latest build for PPC.
It downloads a small blank file named Desktop-1-1, Desktop-2-1, etc to the root User level directory and then also creates a small folder named Desktop-1, Desktop-2, etc. inside the specific user's Home directory.
Certain pages cause this every time.
Mostly news sites but here is a blog that's doing it reliably and repeatably...

Can you try with WebKitGTK+ 1.1.11? This should be now fixed.

Quote Gustavo Noronha: "Can you try with WebKitGTK+ 1.1.11? This should be now fixed."
I have no idea what WebKitGTK+ 1.1.11 is supposed to be.
But I can tell you that the problem is still there with the latest build.

This one is working fine for me in r56329
