You're right, I don't see the problem without Firefox.  The issue is that
although the served page changed, the server still reports a Last-Modified
date of before when I first saw the issue:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2009 00:38:17 GMT
Server: Apache
Last-Modified: Mon, 10 Aug 2009 21:30:04 GMT

It looks like Firefox gets a bunch of "304 Not Modified"s from the server in
response to its requests for the page when I refresh, so it doesn't bother
to refetch the contents.  I'd still consider this a bug in the Debian
tracker system, but the exposure is minimal enough that it's probably not
worth fixing.

Thanks,
Robert
