Yay.

It means the server responses were not he cause of the MISS-ing.

To answer your earlier question, yes there are things servers can do to 
prevent caching no matter what Squid does. This IE result is evidence 
that is not happening.

Insufficient data right now.

You now need to configure "debug_options 11,2" in your squid.conf and 
see what is different in the HTTP client requests from IE versus the 
built-in WebDAV. What you find there will determine what workarounds are 
needed and/or possible.
