The page opens a new document but never closes it. So the load of that document is not complete...

There are existing bugs about pretending like it is complete just because some other browsers do, but it really is not.  The situation is exactly identical to an HTTP server responding with part of an HTML document and then not sending more data down the pipe but keeping the connection open.
