I've tried 3 mime types:

application/octet_stream: The icon displays correctly in Firefox and 
incorrectly in IE, other favicon.ico files I've tried with this mime type 
display correctly in IE.

image/x-icon: The same incorrect display in IE and correct display in FF.

image/vnd.microsoft.icon: Still displays correctly in FF, but IE decides to 
dump it as characters instead of displaying a graphic at all.
