You might be able to send some headers about caching and expiration and
convince IE that it's okay to show the user the old data...

Alternatively, forget the JavaScript history (which won't work for some
users anyway) and use $HTTP_REFERER to link back, perhaps with some PHP
variables to return to the state you want, and maybe even a ?...&foo=$random
to force IE to think it's a different page (since the paramaters are
different) so it will actually go fetch it again.
