You're right, I was thinking of fake redirects with META tags or
JavaScript.

I'm not sure there's a truly generic answer to this.  Simon's
explanation in that section of the docs is a bit flippant, and it
wouldn't hurt to add more discussion of the pros and cons of different
approaches, if you are up for it.  In general, I don't mind the user
getting that "POST data" message because, well, that's what you get for
doing something stupid, and it doesn't actually break anything.
