Ugh, that's annoying - I just looked around and it looks like this is likely limited to IE6, but still that's pretty unpleasant.
The cache that's exhibiting this behavior is Squid, which is pretty popular - or at least there are a lot of installs of it out there. The real problem though is the intermediate caches out there that most people aren't aware of, that you don't have control of...ISPs and such. Yay, IE!
