In cases where there isn't a redirection, it shouldn't do anything fancy to
it. How would that not fix the issue?
Maybe I misunderstood the problem. I thought you were saying that IE stores
<http://www.lugnet.com/foo/> and <http://www.example.com/bar/>
as
<http://www.lugnet.com/foo> and <http://www.example.com/bar>
in the history.
With what I proposed, it would store
<http://www.lugnet.com/foo/> and <http://www.example.com/foo[/]>
because it doesn't know anything about <http://www.lugnet.com/foo> and so
wouldn't have any info on it, and because it has 'learned' that
<http://www.lugnet.com/foo> == <http://www.lugnet.com/foo/>.
This way, it could condense the history list so it wouldn't contain both
of the example.com URLs (and so it would know to color links to either one
as visited), and yet it wouldn't break LUGnet.
