We solved this issue. We actually had this meta tag in our header: <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1" />
but it did not work. Turns our that this is a known issue in the HTML5 boilerplate that our front-end is based on and we had to move the conditional comments around: https://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate/issues/378 So, for the time being we have to add a meta tag like the above to your foundation templates if you don't want IE to behave like IE7 (and actually slow down quite a bit too). OpenText confirmed that there is a related feature request for this (WSGREQ-780) - about time that the UI get's update...
