I'm honestly not sure what your problem is, but here's a suggestion that
in my opinion improves the code, and may help. 

In cgiapp_init, add this:

 $self->mode_param( path_info=> 1 );

Then in your form:

> <form action="" method=POST>
> <input type="hidden" name="rm" value="set_action"/>

You can move the 'rm' to the <form> action. I prefer this because it cleanly 
seperates your data from directives to used to process it. So, the new code
could be:

> <form action="script.cgi/set_action" method=POST>

I assume you actually do reference some script in "<form action>". If you
actually do have it left as "", I wouldn't be surprised if that's related to the IE bug.

I have built websites with CGI::App using the technique I describe and haven't run into what
you describe (Although I've run into plenty of other IE quirks in web development!)
