If you have an onload handler that directly sets document.location, it should be treated as a client redirect and not get added to the back/forward list.  This is how Firefox behaves.

Incidentally, Firefox DOES add an entry if the onload handler does setTimeout('document.location = bla', 0).

My patch to bug 13400 breaks this (while fixing other document.location related behavior).
