I just noted the docs say:
[[ http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_deflate.html
# NOTE: Due to a bug in mod_setenvif up to Apache 2.0.48
 # the above regex won't work. You can use the following
 # workaround to get the desired effect:
 BrowserMatch \bMSI[E] !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html
]]

and you are running Server: Apache/2.0.46 (Red Hat). So tweaking 
my .htaccess to:
[[
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml
BrowserMatch \bMSI[E] no-gzip
]]

turns off compression to IE, and it now works fine. (Ug, what a pain.) 
However, while the info window in Konq shows a gzip Content-Encoding, I 
don't see a similar attribute for Mozilla.
