This isn't abnormal or weird, It happens when your internet connection
is fairly slow and its because you sometimes receive incomplete headers
for the page (broken or garbled)

Because "loading.html" is the first HTML page you request via browser
when you log to gmail:

GET /mail?gxlu=blah&zx=blah HTTP/1.1
POST /accounts/ServiceLoginAuth HTTP/1.1 GET
/accounts/CheckCookie?continue=http%3A%2F%2Fmail.google.com%2Fmail%2F%3F
&service=mail&chtml=LoginDoneHtml
HTTP/1.1
GET /mail/?auth=blah HTTP/1.1
GET /mail/?view=page&name=browser&ver=blah HTTP/1.1 GET
/mail/?view=page&name=loading&ver=blah HTTP/1.1 GET /favicon.ico
HTTP/1.1 GET /mail/?view=page&name=js&ver=3ee190b6dcef2cf0 HTTP/1.1

******** GET /mail/html/es/loading.html HTTP/1.1

  I suppose that if he tries to get http://somehost/somepage.html the
behaviour will be the same.

  Regards.
