ADF Faces - showOneTab PPR problem in Internet Explorer

Question

Hoping someone has some insight into this that may help. This is causing us a lot of problems for us and could end up causing us to drop ADF faces from our project.
Basically we are using af:showOneTab in our application and the first time we change tabs and every other time after that, the progress bar in IE basically runs forever and we have problems with afh:script tags that set the focus to the desired input field. We get a Javascript error that the element doesn't exist (it does, checked with a DOM explorer), or its not ready (may not be because of the progress bar) or isn't visible (it is).
So after a lot of debugging in our application I just went back to the adf demo war file and the showOneTab component demo page in there shows exactly the same behavior. Firefox 1.5.0.7 does not have this problem.
Here are the relevent versions of everything:
ADF faces standalone jars, version 10.1.3.0.4 from the main ADF faces page download.
JSF 1.1_01 RI
Websphere 6.0 App Server
Internet Explorer version 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519
JDK 1.4 - required because of WAS 6.0
Thanks!

I did find a workaround to this problem. I think its pretty ugly though. I had to add the following to the page:
<!-- This code is necessary to prevent the IE progress bar runs forever problem. -->
<f:verbatim>
     <iframe height="1px" marginheight="0px" marginwidth="0px" id="garbageFrame" name="garbageFrame" width="1px" style="visibility:hidden; position:absolute; top:-200px">
     </iframe>
</f:verbatim>
<afh:script id="iframeUpdate"
     text="window.garbageFrame.document.write('');
     window.garbageFrame.close()"/>
<!-- End of code for IE progress bar problem. -->     
Then I add the iframeUpdate script as a partial Target in my tab disclosure listener:
     UIComponent c = (UIComponent)de.getComponent();
     UIComponent target = c.findComponent(":iframeUpdate");
     AdfFacesContext adfContext = AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
     if(target != null) {
          adfContext.addPartialTarget(target);
Just thought I'd follow up as I remember others having the progress bar run forever in IE as well.
