Some behaviors (including bugs, no matter how you defined them) of IE+Win don't correspond to that of the other browsers. If some behavior doesn't change in IE+Win for a long period of time (which we observe here), then, yes, that behavior is standard.

Those networks are absolutely ok in other terms, network administration is with, e.g., the main Spanish telephone company telefonica, which says: "use IE". And they are not single networks, or no, I've seen this behavior often in at least three different countries. I remember being told that those pages did't open on firefox even inside MS. Since safari uses partially the netscape code, but lynx uses a different code base, I'm not surprised that the the behavior occurs in safari, but not in lynx.

Safari doesn't use the netscape code.
