Facebook FB.login() Popup Won't Close in IE8

Question

I've searched for answers to this -- seems like all the answers relate to the old Facebook API so the solutions are no longer relevant.

The problem I'm having: I've got a custom Facebook tab which has a button on it that, when clicked, triggers FB.login(). The way it should work is: user clicks to log in, popup comes up to authorize the app, user clicks authorize, the popup closes. This flow works correctly on all browsers except IE8 and below. On IE8, the user clicks to log in, the popup comes up to authorize the app, the user clicks authorize, then the content INSIDE the popup refreshes with the content from the redirect URL. Needless to say, this is not the desired experience for IE8 users :(

I've tried everything I could find: doublechecked that there are no javascript errors, ensured that there is a valid channel file, etc. Nothing appears to fix it. Everything is happening through secure (https), so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.

I've been trying to fix this for DAYS now; any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
