I believe it is a side-effect of the keyboard navigation. It appears to support the back button (due to the script listening for the arrow keys and disregarding the Alt-modifier) but only for those users who use the keyboard to navigate back-and-forth in history. If you observe carefully, the actual "back button" isn't activated (and hence useless).
