The whole deal with the caching bug is that it appears to happen randomly. 
You can use IE fine for 6 months and then one day, it starts doing some
really weird caching behavior.  No idea if it is patch-specific or
anything, but not all-IE's show this behavior in my experience, and then it
isn't even consistent behavior on those showing the weirdness.

Yes.  If using IE, we should be adding a random string to bare URLs (i.e.
imp/mailbox.php will always have a 'nocache=random_number' parameter added
when using IE).  See Horde_Util::nocacheUrl().
