The checkbox state gets restored via the standard codepath for restoring form control state.  Script state is not restored, of course.  It's really the page author's responsibility to sync the two if the page depends on them being in sync...

Looks like everything is working as designed.

Note that holding down Shift while doing F5 or Ctrl-R or clicking the reload button will do a force-refresh which bypasses caches and resets form controls.

Yes.  Form controls are restored to the state the user set them to.  We can't restore your JavaScript state, since only you know how it ties to those controls.  It really is your responsibility to handle the syncing.

Last I checked, Opera doesn't restore form state at all, which is poor from the user's perspective, even if it does make your job here easier.
