I ran into the same issue on https://investing.schwab.com/trading/start , I used "Report Broken Web Site" to report problem RMO12596395171178.
With html5.enabled, this login page doesn't work and gives "Error: setFocusOnLoginField is not defined" and "loginSubmit is not defined" in the JavaScript Error Console.  In the HTML source the script tag that defines these is between the head element's end tag and the body element's start tag.

My guess is that repopping the head pointer puts the op queue in a bad state.
