What part? The change of a URL that is not associated with the
repainting of window contents? I believe that they are very unlikely
to catch this after initially examining the URL, in absence of other
indicators (change in URL length, page repainting, throbber activity).

And even if so - someone who's typing in his password will not
notice/react to a page reload for at least a few keystrokes. A
javascript could send those to the server immediately, and if it's a
semanic password, you might be able to guess the rest.
