I believe to remember this is a bug of the M$IE
handling "Vary:" HTTP headers properly.

You can escape the effect when you change the
method of disabling mod_gzip for your images
- from using "mod_gzip_exclude_item" rules
- to "mod_gzip_on no" in the appropriate
  <FilesMatch> context definition.
This will prevent mod_gzip from being invoked
at all in these cases, and then surely from
creating any "Vary:" header at all.
