I solved it. It seems someone added the following to the module config as an attempt to resolve an IE bug (surprise, surprise):

//initialize get if not there
if (!$httpProvider.defaults.headers.get) {
    $httpProvider.defaults.headers.get = {};
}

//disable IE ajax request caching
$httpProvider.defaults.headers.get["If-Modified-Since"] = "0";

I removed it, cleared out my cache and it's working fine.
