Randy - its not completely solved, I just had a similar experience as the one described at the top of this thread.

Specifically, I was browsing FlyterTalk Travel sub-forum, and hence my URI was set to http://www.flyertalk.com/travelfr.shtml, I then changed to a diff forum using the drop-down list ("Additional FlyerTalk Forums"), but the URI in my browser never did, so refresh placed me back into ther originally-visited Forum.
I, too, don't think this problem can be completely fixed, but mine is IE 5.5 on NT 4.0 SP 6, pretty modern stuff.

P.S. BTW, JRF's idea did not seem to work, either (placing focus on a sub-frame).
