Out of curiosity, what happen if you switch from FORM based loging to BASIC login (using http auth). I bet IE is getting mislead by the redirect that occurs from login form. html/gif/pdf/png/jpeg file are opened inside IE while zip are opened by external application. Did you try a a .bin or .iso etc?
