A well known problem:

  For some (still not yet understood) reason, Zope
  sends the login page with a 5xx HTTP response code (this is a bug).

  Normal browsers display the page nevertheless.
  IE, instead, substitutes its own page when the option
  "Smart error pages" is active.

You options:

 *  Disable "IE"'s "Smart error pages" feature, which is a mis-feature
    anyway. It substitutes a meaning full error information
    from the source of the error by one which knows nothing
    about the true problem cause. Typical MS...

 *  Try to fix Zope:

    Edit your "login" page and add "...RESPONSE.setStatus(200)".
    The "..." depends on whether the "login" Page is DTML
    ('<dtml-call "REQUEST.RESPONSE.setStatus(200)">') or ZPT
    ('<tal:dummy define="dummy python: request.RESPONSE.setStatus(200);"/>').

    I am not sure that it will work...
