Sheldon,
it is important for IE to the the length of the stream.
response.setContentLength(byteArray.length);
That was the solution in our case.

Betreff: RE: Streaming PDF file problem
I was having an IE + PDF problem as well; it seems that IE refuses to
display a streamed PDF when using method=post - used get and everything
started working...
I didn't like this solution, so we ended up saving the PDFs to disk
(sessionid.pdf) and redirecting to them. We've got a session listener that
deletes the sessionid.pdf files when the session is destroyed.
