* SUMMARY
If you click an external link in a gmail message, then navigate to another page
in the new window (using bookmarks, following a link, typing a url, etc.), the
page that was originally opened can't be returned to with the back button (the
button is disabled, and if you browse further the window/tab history on the back
button will never show it). It doesn't even show up in the global history,
either the menu or the listing in the bookmark manager.
* STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a gmail email with a link in it
2. Click the link
3. Navigate to another page in the new window
4. Try to get back to the previous page through any means
* RESULTS
Page is mysteriously missing from history.
* REGRESSION
Also broken in 10.3.9; haven't tried regressing further back

"rediscovered" this bug while exploring + fixing http://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12117
I need to take a more seriously look at it now!!

Confirmed nothing "bad" happens in a release build other than the opened link getting left out of global and back/forward history. That noted, it may be a little while before I get to this one.
