Comment:

 Replying to [comment:8 vog]:
 > In short, the existing fix is necessary and sufficient. In Internet
 Explorer ≤ 9, `window.location.pathname` has always a leading slash, but
 `a.pathname` (where `a` is an `<a href>` tag) has no leading slash. So the
 workaround is really only needed for `a.pathname` and not for
 `window.location.pathname`.

 I just found that when using OpenLayers in IE modal and modeless popups
 (IE9 in my case) `window.location.pathname` doesn't have a leading slash.
 This can be tested [https://www.fiddler2.com/test/path.htm here].

 To fix this, 'OpenLayers.Util.createUrlObject' (around line 1469)

 {{{
 var parts = loc.pathname.split("/");
 }}}

 needs to be changed to something like this:

 {{{
 var pathname = (loc.pathname.charAt(0) == "/") ? loc.pathname : "/" +
 loc.pathname;
 var parts = pathname.split("/");
 }}}
