We had a similar issue with a few different versions of IE, but I don't
think we've seen this behavior with IE 6 or later.  We found the problem to
be with apache and ssl (sorry I can't offer a better explanation than that,
it was awhile ago) and fixed it by adding this to httpd.conf for each site
that was using ssl:

SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" \
             nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \
             downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0
