Mhtml doesn't work in Vista IE7

Hi all --

I've encountered a problem with mhtml-images in IE7 @ Vista. It seems that
such image are not shown properly (also I have a report that they are not
shown from cache).

Description: I'm trying to embed mhtml resource into CSS file. Then I'm
trying to use this resource (background image) in the same CSS file using
mhtml: protocol as described below. In IE7 @ XP (IE6 @ XP, etc) it works, in
IE7 @ Vista it doesn't work.

Sample site is http://webo.name/,
CSS file with embedded mhtml is http://webo.name/d.css?20081103.

This is very important because we try to merge data:URI and mhtml:
techniques - so they should cover about 99,9% of browsers. W/o IE7 @ Vista we
have only 90% coverage.

Also we launched a project to automate conversion of background images into
data:URI / mhtml form -- http://duris.ru/ - but we can't proceed successful
w/o IE7 @ Vista.

Can anybody investigate this issue or give any information about it? Thanks
in advance.

Robear, sorry, I can't find anything useful on the links you provided. I've
already searched through MSDN and Internet to find the clue to this problem -
nothing. I need something very particular: how to solve this bug/feature or
how to avoid it.

Or I can wait till IE7 developers fix this issue
