[Warning: these are mostly informed guesses. I'm not a gzip expert.] Transfer- and Content-Encoding are indeed separate things. One does not imply the other. Apache is doing Transfer-Encoding, not Content-Encoding, so setting the latter header would be an error. The chunking is likely there so that apache can send the file as it is being compressed, rather than wait to compress the entire file before sending. I'm not sure why MSIE isn't caching the file, but I think both the Content-Encoding and the chunking are not the problem. You need to look elsewhere.
