No, you're not doing anything wrong :-)

It sounds like a cache problem. When opening a popup in TinyMCE, it is 
an iframe and the browser downloads the html, css and js for it from the 
server, or uses cache.

Try deleting the browser cache and/or right-click on the popup and 
refresh it while holding down Ctrl/Shift. The media popup used to have 
some issues in IE6 and sometimes IE7, but has been working well for the 
last few weeks.

If that doesn't work, can you enable error reporting in IE (advanced 
options) and notice any js errors.

Thanks.
