I have fairly limited experience with all of Safari but I have always used the Commend-arrow keys to go back but I use tabs as much as possible. I believe Safari under Mountain Lion does more with tabs instead of opening new windows. I usually go back by pressing Command-w to close tab or window and that usually works for me. Maybe I'm missing something too.
