Yes, this is Oops!, not intentional.  With last changes, Lynx remembers
"too much" from the previous loading when the auto-reloading after '@'
happens.  It is a result of taking some changes (but not all) from Fote's
code without understanding the interaction with other changes.  Will be
fixed.

If you need a quick temporary fix, the following should work:

Find `case LYK_RELOAD:' in LYMainLoop.c, and under that the lines

            if (real_cmd == LYK_RELOAD) {
                HTuncache_current_document();
            } else {
                LYforce_no_cache = TRUE;
            }

Replace those lines with just

            HTuncache_current_document();
