Thanks for all the feedback. This problem is strange in that I haven't been able to duplicate it. IE got itself in a wierd situation where I would hit Reload (and press OK to confirm a rePOST) and the problem would consistently occur. Once I took IE out of that loop, I couldn't duplicate it.
The thing that bugged me is that when I google'd it I found a few other people who had the same problem with POSTed multipart data. So I suspect it's just some IE strangeness that causes the 'boundary' spec in the header to be malformed in some circumstances and causes Apache to think it's two pipelined requests, the second one which is asking for '/'. I'll re-post if I come up with anything useful or am able to reproduce this.
