Thanks for taking the plunge!  These are interesting observations.

I'd add that the sequence on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. bears some resemblance to a peculiar structure of unusually common label "vords" that begin with [ot] or [ok] and have an [l] near or at the end: [otaly], [okal], [okaly], [okol], [otol], [otoly], [okaldy], [otaldy], [otoldy].  Those are some of the highest-frequency label vords that aren't particularly high-frequency vords in running text.
 
I've long suspected that these forms result when the same factors responsible for line patterning get applied to shorter snippets of text.  What those factors are is, of course, another question!  But maybe we're seeing something similar (and only slightly less extreme) on f65r.

Short lines at the ends of paragraphs could provide further material for comparison in the same spirit, although they're not quite as obviously self-standing as the text on f65r.
