    What you are seeing is the hash based Cross-Domain messaging kicking in, something that only happens in older browsers that don’t support postMessage, and which does not have Flash installed (From the log you can see that this is IE6).

    The good thing is that you can avoid these requests from ever hitting your server by setting up, and passing in the path to the channelUrl when performing FB.init.

    This blog post gives you some insights into how to do this.

    Hope this helps!
