"Scripts Globally Allowed" no longer always honored?

In the past few weeks I noticed that even with "Scripts Globally Allowed" checked, following a link from a noscript.untrusted page to a non-noscript.untrusted page sometimes fails to allow scripts, forcing me to manually reload the page. Previously it had not done this. I searched for an about:config preference to restore strict enforcement of "Scripts Globally Allowed" but did not find one. Any ideas?

Site examples you can point to?
What site do you have marked as untrusted?

The problem is intermittent, so specific site examples are impossible. But for a general example, let's say google.com is untrusted. I perform a Google search on "firefox find bar" (sans quotes). As expected, scripts are disallowed. One of the results has the url
http://www.firefoxfacts.com/2009/02/03/ ... b-is-done/ . I click it, and it loads. But even though "Scripts globally allowed" is checked and firefoxfacts.com is not untrusted, scripts are incorrectly disallowed and the status bar icon has the red circle with the line through it. I must then hit Reload, and now scripts are correctly allowed once again.
Being intermittent, this problem only occurs sometimes. But about 2 to 3 automatic updates back, it *never* occurred.
