I've come to the conclusion that Internet Explorer is way beyond broken when
it comes to _NOT_ cache a page. Therefore, I've solved the problem by sending
a query parameter containing a random value to every page I don't want to have
cached - it will get cached, but the new URL will be different so IE will
still reload it...
If you're using <meta http-equiv="refresh" ...>, I believe adding a bogus
request parameter to your query string in the URL to redirect to might solve
your problem...
Of course, this is just treating symptoms and not curing anything, but at
least it works... :/
