We're starting to take complaints from folks who have installed the
latest IE patch about various broken website functionality.  The
complaints are not related to folks trying to use the username:password@
functionality that was removed by the patch.

Is anyone taking similar calls / seeing similar issues?

Yup - that is a "feature" supposed to avoid credit card phish sites that try to spoof ebay with billing.ebay.com () some evil.server/billing etc
