Perhaps I was incorrect in my original assumption.

I have investigated further and - quite to my surprise - the problem appears to be browser specific, which surprises the hell out of me.

Specifically,
 * Chrome "hangs on load" as per the screenie..
 * OTOH, Firefux loads the page effortlessly.
 * This behaviour is seemingly quite independent of any browser add-ons and may suggest that browsers ain't what they used to be..

This in itself should be worrisome, as it implies a level of unsanctioned, unagreed intervention by an undisclosed middle man.

Of course, it could just be a "bug".
