I also came across this. The answer for me was to use a script tag, and not end it with a slash in a single tag. IE did not take it.
This is what I had that didn't work ...
<script type="text/javascript" src="#variables.jQueryURL#" />
This is what I replaced with this ...
<script type="text/javascript" src="#variables.jQueryURL#"></script>
(There's a ColdFusion variable there, but that doesn't matter for this problem.)
