IE not loading GZip compressed scripts

[Andy Blyler]

I have a page (index.php), it has a line:
<script language="JavaScript" src="include/topmenu4/menu_array.php"
type="text/javascript"></script>

If I enable script compression for php via:
cscript.exe adsutil.vbs set
W3Svc/Filters/Compression/GZIP/HcScriptFileExtensions "asp" "dll"
"exe" "php"
cscript.exe adsutil.vbs set
W3Svc/Filters/Compression/DEFLATE/HcScriptFileExtensions "asp" "dll"
"exe" "php"

If I look at the HTTP stream I see that the approperate headers are
set, but the first time index.php loads it doesn't render any of the
javascript code in menu_array.php

After refreshing the page it renders the javascript code from
menu_array.php just fine.

IE Version: 6.0.2800.1106
IIS Version: 6

Has anyone else ran into this?

Does Microsoft plan on changing this? Other browsers don't have this issue.
