For me it also failed when I had keepalive disabled, until I forced
the server to only use SSLv2. I am currently running with

SetEnvIf     User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown
SSLProtocol  SSLv2

and it works with everything I've tested.

No, unfortunately. What I found was that some machines with MSIE would
always fail some would fail occasionally and some would always work.
This was with various 4.x and 5.x versions. The exact same version
that worked on one machine would fail on another.

I also found that MSIE failed less often when the client and server
were on different sides of a slow link.
