I've discovered that Microsoft Office 2007 on Win XP (at least, one I've seen...) gives a user agent that seems to be identical to IE 7...
So in my fork I've made a test & fix for this (timdiggins@0bfc37d), though it's likely to make IE7 present the blank page with meta-refrsh (does anyone care). Can create a pull request if you think this is generally useful.
