You are defiantly dealing with client-side caching issues. I don't know why you are seeing the behavior you are describing, but I do know that if you want to re-populate the form with partially filled-in data, you should explicitly re-populate the form by using client variables, session variables, or some other approach. Relying on the browser to cache the data is risky. To prove the point, when I went to your two test pages using IE on a Mac, I saw different behavior than what you described, and different from both what you described and IE when I used Netscape.
My advice, when dealing with dynamic data, is to prevent clients from caching by setting the appropriate HTTP headers and explicitly maintaining data the data you want maintained using either a persistent variable scope or some other means, such as a database.
