I noticed this a while back but I'm not sure if I filed a bug on it.  Note that
the problem is not nearly as generic as you describe, and 'overflow:scroll'
works fine in most cases.  However, I do see a hang on

(Although it actually doesn't completely hang on that page, and the back button
works.)
