True, there is no direct Javascript hook for this (should there be? I imagine it would be heavily abused), but I believe that the dojo packages are using iframe navigation to provide a logical hook. I think this is why their mechanism doesn't work in Safari.
On the other hand, wouldn't the onunload event get fired as a result of a back-button click? Perhaps this could somehow be leveraged to alert the application that the back button *may* have been used. I don't know how this could be made either efficient or effective.
