Maybe I didn't understand your problem, but ...
Why don't you give a try to my good old plain javascript solution ?

<a href="javascript:window.history.back()">go back</a>

The link above will get you back just like your "back" browser button would...
You can even go back further with "window.history.go(-10)" (ten pages back)
No Cake, No PHP, just simple javascript...

$this->referer() doesn't work for all browsers, cause the referer must
actually be sent by the client (IE doesn't seem to send it all the
time).
