With RequestPolicy enabled, attempts by the StumbleUpon stumble button to change the current tab to a new page are vetoed.

This is a big problem for two reasons:

First, the server thinks it succeeded and doesn't keep a history of links your friends sent you, so if they can't remember and re-send, you're out of luck.

Second, the whole point of StumbleUpon is to show you sites you've never been to before, so having to disable RequestPolicy to get it to work effectively makes RequestPolicy useless in the situation where it's needed most.
