I would blame whoever set up the website.  The page in question does not
even attempt to use the features that the "fail" page refers to.  IE may
not be able to handle "xhtml+xml" or SVG images, but as long as it can
render the page in question, who cares?  That redirect should be limited
to pages that actually use the features in question.
