Will check Filemon know - however worthly of note is that this happens to an
application (excel, PPT, PDF) launched off the Web Page.

Given what you've said so far, I'm tempted to think it's merely because the
instantiated word object cannot create a temp file (you mentioned that word
appears).
So I'm more of the mind that it's something word is trying to do, per se,
than purely an IE thing.
That's not to say it's not due to an IE restriction, though.
What does filemon say, when this happens?
