Good bug. We seem to be leaving out the 2nd state change event when the page
load finishes and STATE_BUSY no longer applies.

Actually this is a bug in Window-Eyes.

We only fire page load finished events when the current document has focus,
otherwise the current document would be read even though you're still traversing
the list. To prove this, focus the document after you've loaded a few pages and
use  alt+left arrow then. At that point Window-Eyes loads the page.

Window-Eyes also needs to load the page if the user tabs to the document and
they haven't loaded it before.
