The main problem is that although the AJAX goodies don't work in this version of IE, it's still disabling the native autocomplete -- so we've taken away something that worked and failed to replace it with something else useful.
An AJAX support test at the beginning could trigger extra warning messages at page load time for some configurations of IE; but we should know that our ajax attempts don't work once we start typing, and can re-enable native autosuggest at that time.
This should lead to relatively sane behavior in most cases.
