Greg, you understand correctly. IE attempts to load the older.cache.html that was recorded as the src of the iframe when the page was bookmarked instead of the src as it exists currently on the requested page resulting in incompatibility exceptions with the newer version on the server. The older.cache.html still resides in IE cache as it was sent with a cache header equivalent of forever.
