It is fairly well known in the web design community, at least with certain 
versions of IE.  The usual response is to delete IE's cache, set it to  use 
0MB and hit reload.  Which will usually work.  (At least at getting IE to 
reload the page.)  Closing the source code window could help too.

I haven't approached it from a security angle, so I don't know what could 
be done with it.
