I've found the cause in the changelog:

2004-01-09  Christian Persch  <chpe@cvs.gnome.org>

        * data/epiphany.schemas.in:
        * data/ui/epiphany-ui.xml:
        * embed/ephy-embed-prefs.h:
        * embed/mozilla/mozilla-notifiers.cpp:
        * src/ephy-window.c: (ephy_window_finalize),
        (browse_with_caret_notifier), (ephy_window_init):
        * src/pdm-dialog.c: (show_cookies_properties):
        * src/window-commands.c: (window_cmd_browse_with_caret):
        * src/window-commands.h:

        Add an accellerator-only action (F7) to toggle caret browsing. Hook
        up listener to set the mozilla pref, added the gconf key to the schema.

I must have accidentally pressed F7 in an Epiphany window. Accelerator
keys without corresponding menu items/options are very poor user
interface design, imho.
