I figured this out, and it definitely had nothing to do with Wicket. For anyone who cares:
It has to do with IE behavior relating to our NTML authentication filter (JCIFS). Essentially, once IE is forced to negotiate for a page (the first time it hits the site), it assumes that all subsequent requests to that server are going to need negotiation, and so it doesn't include the post data, since it assumes it'll be rejected and it'll have to negotiate and resubmit anyway. IE is TRYING to improve performance, but since it's a faulty assumption, it fails. Our site only negotiates once, then we cache the credentials in session so that subsequent pages do not require the negotiation of credentials. To correct, I added a filter before our auth filter which can detect IE doing this and "fake it out". This idea comes from Kevin Tapperson.
