Did you ever have it as manage_main?
If you did, then you can be sure that the problem is cacheing.
If you're using ZEO, be sure not to use the 2.0b series, it had a cacheing
bug.  Otherwise, it's your browser, or a cacheing proxy between zope
and the browser, but you didn't mention that.

I have had IE lie to me before. e.g. re-writing source code in the "show source"
view. It's my first suspect in all such problems. Clearing the cache is 
not sufficient if you're currently viewing the page, for some reason.

browser issues for sure then.
