Compatibility issue with wicket

[Evinyatar]

In Internet Explorer 8 and 9, FlexieJS seems to cause an extra page load (as witnessed in the "Network" tab in the developer tools). This causes issues with Apache Wicket (a Java web framework). Wicket tracks page state in the session and on each page load a new version of the state is created. All the components on the page are attached to that version. What happens with FlexieJS on the page is that the components are attached to version, then FlexieJS triggers the extra page load invalidating the version the components are attached to. When you then try to do anything with those components, Wicket throws a StalePageException and the page refreshes, which just takes us back to step one.
Is there a way to bypass the extra page load?
