The way this error sounds I would suspect the javascript doing
something funny, telling IE to go to the wrong place.

But, after you say this, I might think that IE is having a hard
time with the SSL generally & Apache on that first time.
I would check the modssl.org site for tips about configuring
your SSL specifically to work around IE bugs, of which there
are many.

I'd check both the JS & SSL if I were in your position, probably
in that order.
