Apparently, Internet Explorer trusts the location variant way too much when it comes to method cache. As Thor Larholm 
pointed out to me, it isnt a problem of similar method name redirection, but a problem with the location variant. I 
have created a new vulnerability to demonstrate this. EvilChild creates a child popup on a new window. Then it 
redirects the page. As it's loading, the popup is shown and saves the ref of parent.window.open to location.cache. As 
soon as the evil child popup cannot access the parent.document, an error handler is fired calling parent.window.open to 
load javascript into the main window.
