CSS Compression defeats MSIE conditionals

[Sxilderik]

Hello
I set up a special css page for some MSIE glitches.
But, when I enable CSS Compression, that page is either not loaded or ignored in some way...

with CSS C:

<link href="http://mysite.xyz/themes/mytheme/cache/c2bb41e8043388c6b0c60a0f15dc7134_all.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" />
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<link href="themes/mytheme/css/global_ie.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" />

(Notice the use of a full URL...)

without CSS C:

<link href="/themes/mytheme/css/global.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" />
<link href="/themes/mytheme/css/modules/blockviewed/blockviewed.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" />
<link href="/themes/mytheme/css/modules/blockcart/blockcart.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" />
<link href="/themes/mytheme/css/modules/editorial/editorial.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" />
<link href="/themes/mytheme/css/modules/blockcategories/blockcategories.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" />
<link href="/themes/mytheme/css/modules/blockspecials/blockspecials.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" />
<link href="/themes/mytheme/css/modules/blocknewproducts/blocknewproducts.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" />
<link href="/themes/mytheme/css/modules/blockcms/blockcms.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" />
<link href="/themes/mytheme/css/modules/blocktags/blocktags.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" />
<link href="/modules/blocklayered/blocklayered.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" />
<link href="/css/jquery-ui-1.8.10.custom.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" />
<link href="/themes/mytheme/css/modules/blockuserinfo/blockuserinfo.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" />
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<link href="themes/mytheme/css/global_ie.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" />

Somehow, in the first case, the CSS glitches I put in the global_ie.css file are not used.

Any way to deal with this, and allow me to use CCS compression ? (besides telling people not to use MSIE in the first place!)

Thanks
