I imagine it might just be a poor implementation in IE. It might be doing 
something stupid like determining that the inclusion of a mimetype is 
nonsecure. It doesn't make sense that anything could go through http when 
accessing via https, without a link in your page that points to 
somewhere else.

To make sure, you could disallow http access to the site completely,
and/or block port 80 at your firewall.

Otherwise, I'm sure there's a security hole in IE that you could make it 
think that anything from anywhere is secure. :)
