Bug: move not received

Hi 
I'm trying to play some games on the botladder again to show my genius at finding the crappiest moves available  Today I seem to have encountered a bug; I lost a game on time because the game client did not show me the bot's move. See the position below:
After playing my last move as silver, the bot seemed to use up it's two minutes, and also it's 10 minutes reserve, and seemed to time out. As nothing happened, I closed the window, but when I logged in later, the game was logged as lost on time for gold. Opening the game again, Gold indeed made a move, but I never saw it.

I've seen this bug before and it seems to be well-documented. It happens when the packet containing your opponent's move is sent, but lost somewhere between the server and your computer- I usually refresh regularly when my opponent seems to be taking unusually long to make sure that this does not become a problem.

It might just be a coincidence, but it appears to me that using a different web browser might help. Previously, I used the SRWare Iron browser (based on Chrome) and experienced the problem quite often. Now I use Firefox to play Arimaa, and it seems like the problem disappeared. Has anyone had a similar experience?

I have experienced this bug much more often recently, or perhaps I have merely noticed it more because I have been playing a lot blitz, which is unusual for me. Normally I just reload the client and forget about it, but wasting 30 seconds is a large blow in a blitz game. I am using Chrome FWIW; I may experiment with Firefox for comparison, or I may just lump it and not care about my plummeting rating.

Like this game http://arimaa.com/arimaa/gameroom/comments.cgi?gid=225828
Where the display went directly from showing me with 47 seconds in reserve to showing me having lost on time. Might it have something to do with increased activity (i.e. six other games were going on at the same time)?
