Have a look at this that scans your local network: http://samy.pl/webscan/

I think some browser changes might have hobbled it a bit, but it was startling when I first tried it.

A bit? The site claims it found a host on literally every single private IP that exists ;) And closing it nearly killed my FF (full freeze for ~10 seconds).

OTOH, using Mobile Safari, this site leaked my device’s IP as well as a number of connected devices on my internal network.

Anyone know an easy fix for this?

If so, I'd love to hear it. As far as I know all iOS browsers are forced to use the same rendering engine, and I suspect there's no way to modify that.
