I'm not familiar with the pedigree of maybeCanonizeURL. It looks like the functionality was originally introduced in 2002 by Hyatt with no bug number. It does look like IE still does this type of completion. Philipp, what do you want to do?

(note that "keep matching IE on Windows" != "only change this on OS X"; we should specialcase Windows, not OS X)
