Chris, I have been trying to do the same thing (for over a year now), and I had come to the conclusion that it's a problem with IE (I've only tried it through Jetspeed, though). In trying to research the problem, I've run across a lot of similar problems which led me to that conclusion (problems with IE/PDF, Content headers vs. file extensions, problems with IE and https). Never the exact same problem, but similar. I finally resorted to adding a check-box to my page that would force IE to download the file, instead of trying to display it. I'm sure there's a way to make it work correctly, I just got tired of fighting it. If you do figure it out, let me know :-)
