You loaded the page directly. It only seems to happen if autosearch was involved.

Loading http://www.google.com/search?q=${ does what you see, but entering ${ in to the search box and pressing enter does what everyone else sees.

edit: compare your clean human generated address bar to the other screenshot's messy software generated one.
