Comment(by cypherpunks):

 Hi

 I am using google Chrome Version 24.0.1312.57 on a MacBook 4,1 system
 version 10.7.5 and the EFF Https everywhere plugin from the chrome app
 store.

 Since you had trouble replicating this I wiped all Chrome data from my
 account thereby delating all extensions, cookies and settings.   I then
 loaded the https everywhere plugin again and went to www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer
 from a UK internet connection.   Surprisingly I then found that the page
 appeared fine but upon refreshing it it rendered badly again with a
 complaint that a browser with CSS support was needed to show the page.
 Using the inspect chrome tool I found a single cookie being placed on the
 initial visit.   One of the values stored in this cookie is "BBC-UID",
 deleting the BBC-UID value caused the page to be rendered properly again
 after refresh.   The problem appears again in subsequent refreshes.
