But with IE8, all is well.

Ah well, one of life's mysteries!
There are lots of annoying differences in Javascript processing between Microsoft and Mozilla. I never ran across one that concerned redirections, but I had to deal with this kind of problem so a fairly simple web application would work with both IE and Firefox. The problems I had to resolve involved differences in addressing text objects on the page. There were usually equivalents, but not always exact ones. IE was usually more tolerant of archaic forms.

If you're obsessed, you might be able to trap it and see the code in an IE js debugger.
