Well, didn't work for me.  Probably I did it wrong.

Anyway, I played around a bit doing similar things
(one being g somewhere then z'ing it), and either
then or later discovered that I had BROKEN part of lynx.

Each time I hit the backspace (do hist page), a sequence
of these backspaces, it ALTERNATED between (in this case)
a history page and my bookmarks-page (which I list on
the command-line as the url to goto first).

Maybe YOUR trick just demonstrated a BUG somewhere?
