Hi Alex,
We had these issues too, specifically with MyiLibrary ebooks when they opened within a frame (as they do from Summon).
A number of other Summon and EZProxy customers recommended implementing the P3P directive from the OCLC web page that you mention. Implementing it is as simple as pasting that line into your EZProxy config.txt file.
You can look up the meaning of the directive here: http://www.p3pwriter.com/LRN_111.asp
It looked like a sensible and appropriate policy as far as I could tell based on this information, and as I mentioned it is in use by a number of other customers. It has fixed our issue with MyiLibrary ebooks in IE.
All the best
Ben

Subject: [lis-e-resources] EZProxy and P3P?
Hi,
I've recently been alerted to Summon users being stopped in their tracks by a web page with a confusing message about licensed databases requiring authentication. The message also mentions that these databases may use cookies.
Serials Solutions explanation of this problem is here:
http://support.serialssolutions.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2924
The solution is to configure EZProxy with a P3P "Compact Privacy Policy":

Has anyone actually configured EZProxy with a P3P "Compact Privacy Policy"? If so, was the process straightforward or complicated? Which P3P Policy Generator did you use?
Thank you.
