It should not be considered a bugfix anymore. It is NOT required to do, because that particular story with M$IE is over.
Recently, there were some problems with M$IE reported, namely a partially lost compressed content when using SSL over HTTP/1.1. It happens infrequently. The problem remains in research stage to date. It seems to be NOT a problem of compression: the problem is effectively addressed through downgrade of HTTP/1.1 to HTTP/1.0 over SSL for this browser. Then the response could be sent back compressed over HTTP/1.0. It works fine.
