I don't know it it's a browser bug or an "enhancement" but there's your fix.
In IE yes, but in FF & Opera, the favicon appears in the address bar whether it's a fave or not.

I have 3 browsers installed, and I see the favicon in FF, Opera, & temporarily saved it as a fave in IE6 where I see it as well....but I have noticed that even with my own sites, sometimes the favicons appear in my IE favorite list, and sometimese they don't. Could it be an IE thing that makes favicons seem so flighty I wonder?
