Ok, I stand corrected (and with egg on my face for abusing zlib). The moral of the story is that zlib.compress(data) is NOT the same as gzip <data >browser (Which I guess I should have known). Thanks for the pointer Jan!
I think I have figured out what I did wrong, but I now have compression working for IE If anyone wants the patch to play with, drop me a line (It's a file to add to the PatchKit folder. PatchKit auto-loads all patches it finds - just restart Zope, or refresh PatchKit).
