Hmm... Avi's the expert on that area but he's away until tonight so I'll 
see if I can answer it and he can tell you if I'm wrong. ;)

I'm pretty sure it isn't going to matter because it isn't really a call 
stack, it's all done with continuations.  And the continuation is going 
to get stored in the session cache anyway in case the user hits the back 
button and goes back to that page to click the link again.  So since the 
continuation would be stored whether the user uses it or not I don't 
think it's going to make any difference whether your callPage returns or 
not.
