Something similar happens for me on 2001062218. It used to be fine!

If a URL has been used before in a more complete version, it is impossible to
type in something like
http://java.sun.com
if you previously had gone to
http://java.sun.com/anything.
The URL appears in the window as typed, but hitting return does not launch any
action!

mass-verifying WorksForMe bugs which haven't changed since 2001.12.31.
