I was doing development and experienced this, then went back to the original image which behaves the same:
If the small world icon is used to launch the browser, the page loads about 90% of the way and then goes away. If the browser is launched from the top search bar, it loads fine. This started happening earlier this week, and I just verified this morning that it happens with the original image. The logcat is below, and I must admit to not being very good with java (or dalvik) backtraces. But, the fault address of deadd00d in the segv register dump is probably suspect.
