From what I read, this has to do with the method=post ideaology. Post, at its core, was made for sending sensitive information only once. So, if you follow the W3C standard literally (such as what IE trys to do.. btw, this is not limited to just 6), one should not be able to re-retrieve an expired querry if generated from a post method... thus what you are seeing. Also, there may very well be some issues with P3P regarding version 6, method=post... but I don't know for sure. Cookies, for sure would be a facter in IE6 and method=post... so, if John's MimeHeaders are not working, it could be your next step to look into P3P. There are various utilities on the internet to see what mimeheaders are being sent. Use one of them to make sure the page is expiring some time in the future (maybe 2 or 5 minutes depending on how sluggish you think your users are :-).
