Interesting.  But it's not due to my config, I see this behavior with
emacs -q.

I have two different installations available:

1.  A self-compiled Emacs 24 from the emacs-24 branch, with w3m
installed via M-x package-list-packages (from Melpa).

2.  The Debian emacs-snapshot installation, with the Debian
w3m-el-snapshot package installed (1.4.483+0.20120614, unstable
repository).

Both installations show the described behavior.  I use w3m for many
years now (5? 7? - something like that), and I saw this problem all the
time, on all my computers, always on Linux.

Maybe it is OS dependent?
