Nope, this is a known issue. It's because the code that collapses the 
boxes doesn't get run until the pages is fully loaded (it's called from 
<body onload>. So if the last bit of data for the left hand frame takes 
a little while to come through some users may see the boxes expanded.

I don't like this "bug" either and am sure there must be a better way to 
solve this than having to forcing people without JavaScript to not get 
access to these items.

I don't follow. Could you explain this bug you are seeing more fully.
