Yes, it seems like OpenText is supporting IE8 and IE9 by simply forcing them to behave like IE7. This also seems to slow down the browsers quite a bit. Using a different browser for SmartEdit is an option of course - but I don't like the idea of telling a client that they have to switch browsers depending on what functionality they want to use in the CMS...
I've also pinged OpenText support on the possibility of changing the header value - will keep you posted.
