I'm unable to reproduce this, and it seems it works OK for others as
well. The log snippet you included also shows that the request sent
from IE is identical to the one sent from Mozilla (at least as far as
the logged data is concerned).

Is it possible for you to run "snoop" to catch the IE request as sent
on the wire ? Something like 

   snoop -s 1514 -r -o ie-ack.snoop host 128.230.4.95 and tcp port 80

should do it (the IP is the IP of your client running IE).

Maybe it's a security setting in IE that breaks it by not including
the authorization header ...
