Does anyone else experience this problem or have they fixed it?  If there is no good fix I'll simply start commenting out lines of the PHP source until it works, since these all seem to be targeted to user settings flexibility which is a concern I do not share at the moment.  Correct me if I'm wrong :)

You can comment out the redirect part in RawPage.php, about 2/3 down.
I'm not sure it even makes a difference for IE, but haven't thoroughly
tested it.
