Curious, according to the docs, it shouldn't allow those browsers to
connect.  Are you using one of the step-up certificates from Verisign?

Do you also have the following lines installed?

SSLCipherSuite
ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT56:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP:+eNULL

SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" \
        nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \
        downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0

If you do, could you try it without "SSLRequire %{SSL_CIPHER} >= 128", I'm
not convinced that the SSLRequire makes a difference.
