FWIW, I sometimes get "hung" like this too.

Usually, hitting a ^G will clear the "hang" condition, and cause the
page in question to be rendered.  Most often (if I've been "hung" long
enough), the complete page will be there.  Occasionally though, the
page is short/truncated, in which case a <-- cmd, followed with the
x cmd will cause the page to get refetched without any hanging.

I've never tried to pin this behavior down, since it's an infrequent
thing.  I just write it off to "network slugishness", and let it go
at that.

This behavior goes back (for me) to at least 2.7, or so.
