Oh, don't blame IIS on the headers thing, Apache has to do the same thing... 
<IfModule mod_setenvif.c>
    # The following directives modify normal HTTP response behavior.
    # The first directive disables keepalive for Netscape 2.x and brow
+sers that
    # spoof it. There are known problems with these browser implementa
+tions.
    # The second directive is for Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0b2
    # which has a broken HTTP/1.1 implementation and does not properly
    # support keepalive when it is used on 301 or 302 (redirect) respo
+nses.
    #
    BrowserMatch "Mozilla/2" nokeepalive
    BrowserMatch "MSIE 4\.0b2;" nokeepalive downgrade-1.0 force-respon
+se-1.0

    #
    # The following directive disables HTTP/1.1 responses to browsers 
+which
    # are in violation of the HTTP/1.0 spec by not being able to grok 
+a
    # basic 1.1 response.
    #
    BrowserMatch "RealPlayer 4\.0" force-response-1.0
    BrowserMatch "Java/1\.0" force-response-1.0
    BrowserMatch "JDK/1\.0" force-response-1.0

I've got a lot of gripes with IIS but broken clients just something you have to deal with.

In fact, that brings up another thought. Have you tried sending different User Agent strings to IIS with that request? That may be part of the problem too. Yah never know when you can't muck with the innards.
