Well, I removed some code that was creating the Flash-based MP3 player and the erratic behavior on IE went away. The other site that I had this problem with had Flash as well, and in both sites I was using the SWFObject JavaScript library according to the instructions, by creating a DIV to receive the Flash movie, and immediately following that a SCRIPT block that loads the movie into the DIV. If I put this code in a $(document).ready(...), the problem goes away. However, doing this results in the DIV's no-Flash placeholder content displaying for a second before being replaced with the SWF, which isn't really desirable.
I don't know at this point if it's specifically SWFObject+JQuery, or if it's due to the general technique of inline SCRIPT blocks that manipulate the document.
