I've also seen this a lot in Mozilla, and it seems to be connected to a lazy
reply to IC's query on the type of browser being used (so it may also be
related to network latency). One solution is to remove the query - in the
checkout page force the choice of *browser_payment to 
old_browser_payment, and then inside payment_select remove the 
javascript between the [if !scratch old_browser] and [/if].
