Is there a way to detect if this MITM is being performed?

The one method I'm familiar with for how to accomplish this with SSL involves installing keys for a company CA in the users' browsers. (The SSL MITM box resigns the keys, and as long as the key is trusted by the user, no dire error messages occur.) If you were paying attention, you could check that the signing CA had changed.
