Details

This bug was uncovered (though poorly described and highly sensationalized) at:

http://www.msnbc.com/news/550220.asp

The scenario is this:  There are a group of radio buttons.  Click one of them.
Then, click a second one.  If the checked attribute of the first is read during
the onclick handler fired by clicking on the second, it will be true when it
should be false.  Of course, the correct radio is selected immediately after the
onclick fires, and the correct radio is always sent to the server in submission.

The article claims all kinds of horrible things could happen because of this,
but that is highly unlikely, and there are no existing web sites mentioned with
problems due to this tiny inconsistency.  However, it should still be fixed at
some point.
