That UA string suggests it isn't Internet Explorer at all, supporting ionFish's theory that it's a bot.
Windows NT 9.0 gives it away. Even Windows 8 only calls itself Windows NT 6.2. It also makes no reference to Trident, IE's rendering engine.
It should be more like Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/5.0). See ...

Checking the IE9 website, this is the ONLY thing relating to URL case.
400 BAD FILE REQUEST: This error occurs due to input of incorrect URL by the user, like we unknowingly use uppercase letters while specifying a URL rather than lower case letters and sometimes use of incorrect punctuation causes this error.
I do have a hunch though: since they're all ...

As of right now developers would be doing this partially out of curiosity and partly to get ahead of the game. After all, as you've pointed out, the user base is tiny right now and even at full saturation the maximum numbers of users will be limited to those running IE9 and Win 7 (or newer).
I think it is a good idea, but shouldn't be a priority, to start ...

The key metric is percentage of repeat visitors.
Web applications usually have a high percentage of repeat visitors. A visitor is more likely to do a specific set of tasks on the app, so if you provide a deep URL that saves 3 clicks, he'd appreciate it.

When a well behaved web browser encounters cached content, it generally still requests the head portion of the cached document so that it can ensure that the content hasn't changed since it was last cached. Just as long as the last-modified or content-length changes, then you shouldn't have a problem.
Issues arise when your web server has explicitly told ...

Just have that page send out anti-caching headers every time a user loads it. This will force the browser to get a fresh copy of the page every time. You can do this without affecting the caching of the other pages in the site.
You can use meta tags:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="CACHE-CONTROL" CONTENT="NO-CACHE">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="PRAGMA" ...

Anchoring with ids is a feature of html4 of which many of the new browsers try to support, practically id behave like anchor name:
The id attribute may be used to create an anchor at the start tag of
any element (including the A element).
In the same document says:
The id and name attributes share the same name space. This means that
they ...

There's an MSDN blog post explaining how to build "reputation" for your download, but overall this is at least somewhat out of your control. It seems to be a rather unpopular feature(also see comments there), and I expect it'll receive some adjusting or even removal soon.
I hate to say this, but is it out of the question to put a notice on the download ...

<head>
<!-- Mimic Internet Explorer 8 -->
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE8" >

</head>
<body>
