IE6 stops turning "world" on using background-image links

[Winfried Heymann]

Hi there,

I am struggling with a IE 6 glitch (possibly available in earlier
versions):

If you click on a link which has a background-image and leave this
link during loading, IE stops ist progress animation (turning World
globe, or moving Windows logo under XP).

This is quite confusing because users may wonder why the browser no
longer loads (or better: seems to load) the requested page.

Is this a known issue I simply missed somewhere? Can anybody help?

Here's a detailed sample page:
