I wrote the above to the list back on 9 June 2005. (Archived:
http://tinyurl.com/bda97) Here was the fix: On the Internet Explorer
systems that were not rendering the page, the 'Use HTTP 1.1 through
proxy' option in Internet Options -> Advanced was disabled. (This
option should probably be enabled on most/all systems by default.)

Enabling this option let Internet Explorer render the pages fine. The
other web browsers mentioned already use HTTP 1.1 through a proxy
connection, which is why they did not exhibit the symptoms.

Hopefully this will be helpful to someone else.
