For me, after pressing Back, it doesn't display "Transferring data from...", but displays the URL of the link I had clicked to go to the page I got back from.

Disregard my last comment, as it's another bug. Since the bug filer said that this happened in Gecko 1.7 too, bfcache isn't involved in this, while the bug I noted is just similar.
