0. Launch browser
1. Copy this url: http://asargent.com/tests/location_test.html
2. Paste into location bar, hit enter, notice that url ends up ending in "?11"
3. Open a new tab via Ctrl-t
4. Hit Ctrl-l to bring focus to the location box
5. Paste the url from step 1 into location, hit enter
6. Notice that location box has not updated to end in "?11" even though the body content (using javascript) shows that document.URL does

If you switch to a previous tab and then come back, the location box will now be correct. 

The problem seems to happen intermittently - perhaps about 80% of the time, for me.

This was on Windows XP with an installed Safari of 4 Public Beta (528.16), with the browser launched via the run-nightly-webkit.cmd from the latest nightly build (r42793).
