Interesting - I'd wondered what that safari pref really did...

Forgetting about fancy stuff like frames for the moment, if:

 I navigate to www.example.com, and phorm intercepts the request and 
 spoofs an HTTP 302 response redirecting me to www.websise.com/whatever
 which then attempts to set a webwise.com cookie

then are you saying safari will refuse this cookie, on the grounds that I 
hadn't "navigated" there myself ?  But other browsers accept the cookie ?
