If you navigate to page with following source:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head>
<title>Untitled Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function redirect(){
window.location = "http://www.google.com";
}
setTimeout('redirect()', 10);
</script>
</body>
</html>
it will redirect you to google.com if you hit back button it will allow you to stay on this page. However if you add:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head>
<title>Untitled Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function redirect(){
window.location = "http://www.google.com";
}
alert("Test");
setTimeout('redirect()', 10);
</script>
</body>
</html>
it will redirect you even if you hit back button.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Navigate to such page.
2. Hit back button
3. See the difference
Actual Results:
You stay on your page and not redirected in case of no alert
Expected Results:
Redirect to google.com every time.

Not a JS engine bug, Tyler please note for future reference the issue of page navigation, scripted redirect via location setting, setTimeout, alert: these spell D-O-M.
