I had a problem with the IE behaving very strange when trying to download MS Office documents (docx, xlsx) from a
subversion server; it downloaded them as zip files instead. The fix was to add the subversion server to the trusted
sites in the IE settings: Tools->Internet Options, Tab Security
Its a wild guess but maybe this helps with your problem too.
