FWIW, IE's behaviour seems to be in agreement with the HTTP/1.1 specification:

By default, an expiration time does not apply to history mechanisms. If the entity is still in storage, a history mechanism SHOULD display it even if the entity has expired, unless the user has specifically configured the agent to refresh expired history documents.
