Can't load bookmarklets at all

[Stuart Langridge]

The Ubuntu browser will not allow me to load javascript: URLs at all, either from the address bar or from a bookmark. AddressBar.qml disallows javascript: URLs but is easily patched to allow them; however, with that patch in place, or when loading a javascript: URL from a bookmark (manually poked into bookmarks.sqlite), the browser shows a screen saying:

Network Error
It appars you are having trouble viewing: javascript:location.href=%22http://www.yahoo.com/%22
Ubuntu suggests you check your network settings and try refreshing the page.

This makes it impossible to use bookmarklets in the Ubuntu browser, which is quite annoying: for example, the Readability bookmarklet makes it much easier to read pages on a phone-sized screen, and isn't available to me as an Ubuntu Touch user. It also generally cuts off the ability of people to deliver little enhancements to the browser before they get rolled into the browser as a built-in feature.

Confirmed. Tested with manually inserting the following bookmarklet in the bookmarks database:

    javascript:(function(){alert("test");})();
