Ah yes, I did misunderstand what the OP and you meant by that. Yes, progressive enhancement would be preferable, I (almost) always try to use the PE approach myself.
The problem with having this mix though is that someone could visit "/45382/some-content-url" with JS turned on and then click a mangled link - taking them to "/45382/some-content-url#!94812/some-other-content" which is absolutely horrible.
As far as I'm concerned, the only real solution is to not use javascript for loading pages rather than, you know, invoking page loads. I really don't see why this method is beneficial at all, there is nothing of merit in the design or functionality of Gawker in my opinion.
