This is WebKit https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15795, nothing for us to do here.

There are occasions when a link is clicked but there's no loading indication at all, mouse pointer aside. The throbber is not moving, the Stop button doesn't get sensitive. It's not that the gui is dealocked either, you can do anything as usual. But after a few seconds the requested page is rendered. I don't know exactly the cause, but I've only seen it in pages using frames.
