AH! I misread the question.

The answer is, don't reload. This is simply a browser issue, and frankly
the only reasonable response to reloading a page contingent on a form
post. Interchange will not stop you from loading products in a cart
unless you make efforts to keep it from doing such; thus, it will
happily accept each request made to add an item to the cart.
