MSN Listing Same Top Five Sites on 1st & 2nd Page Search Results

This is something weird I found at DigitalPoint Forums, where MSN Search is listing the same top five results (in terms of sites) on page one of the search results, when compared to page two.

Search on background check and notice that the first five listings are:
(1) www.background-check.info
(2) www.backgroundcheckgateway.com
(3) www.instantpeoplecheck.com
(4) www.easybackgrounds.com
(5) www.instant-background-check.com

Now click over to page two and notice the first five listings are:
(1) www.background-check.info
(2) www.backgroundcheckgateway.com
(3) www.instantpeoplecheck.com
(4) www.easybackgrounds.com
(5) www.instant-background-check.com

Never seen that before...

Wow that's really weird, perhaps just a bug on their code.. those on the top five will benefit from the added traffic.. but question is what happens to the ones that rank 11-15?
