I haven't traced it, but I'll take an educated guess.

Hotmail may be doing entity encoding that is not valid when they see a
client provide an Accept-Encoding header on an HTTP/1.0 request. Why
that would result in a blank page I'm not sure... but a tcpdump of the
actual page delivered, with the headers would probably show it up
quickly. My WAG would be an incompatible mix of Content-Encoding and
body data.
