IE 7,8 visited links not working when links go to page with hashchange

[patrickliechty]

I created a page that has links on it that point to itself. I capture the hashchange and do an ajax call. The links do not show highlighted when I click on them and then go back. I changed the page to use ? instead of hashes, and it works great. I wonder if IE doesn't think that you fully loaded the linked page so it doesn't mark it as visited. I can create an example that reproduces the problem if necessary.

Please create a very simple test case on jsfiddle.net and link to it in this issue. Thanks!

Here is the jsfiddle link. The example creates links dynamically, deletes them and creates more. It cycles through 3 sets of links. You will notice in Firefox that the links show as visited. In IE 7 and 8 they don't. I don't know if this is a bbq bug or not. Maybe it is a jquery bug.
