Comment:

 I would like to have an actual report by someone that he/she encountered
 the so called friendly error message by internet explorer.

 here is how I tested:

 fake.html in webroot of blog:
 {{{
 <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
 "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
 <html>
 <head>
 <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
 <title>Insert title here</title>
 </head>
 <body>
 <form method="post" action="wp-comments-post.php">
 <input name="comment_post_ID" value="1" />
 <input type="submit" />
 </form>
 </form>
 </body>
 </html>
 }}}

 this provocates a wp_die() for the default first post.
