Not entirely sure this is a bug, but it doesn't seem like proper behavior:

If you right-click an anchor tag link, the link becomes :visited -- even if the link was not visited.

Steps to reproduce:
1.  Navigate to http://reddit.com
2.  Right-click any blue (non-visited default color) link to bring up contextual menu
3.  Click away from the menu (cancel the modal menu)

Expected Result: Link should remain blue (indicating it has not been visited)

Actual Result: Link turns purple (indicating the link has been visited)

Workaround: Reload the page, link returns to blue (non-visited)

Confirmed with Safari 5.0.2.
