How can a browser practice voodoo to find out what's running on the server? Flash is a client side technology, and the browsers (clients) got rid of it. There is absolutely no way to tell that a website is running Wordpress. Also, why would the browser even care what happens on the server? Blocking websites that use Wordpress is about as doable as blocking websites whose sysadmins have mohawks.
Voodoo? It's easy enough for automated toolkits to determine when Wordpress is running on a server by querying well known paths. Having client browsers perform the same trick when connecting to new domains isn't the black magic you're trying to make it out to be.
