Evidently, they do sometimes fetch larger resources, as Calendar.app on MacOSX and iOS exhibit the same problem with the same user's calendar.

Sorry. I didn't explain that properly.

The browser's FIRST request is an ordinary GET (without a range). The Server sends a 200 response, but closes the connection after sending 62K of data. The browser's SUBSEQUENT requests are Range Requests. Each time, the server sends a 206 Response, promising the REST of the resource, but each time it closes the connection after sending 62K of data.

I have to clear the browser's cache (which I can do) to get it to return to making an ordinary GET request (without a range).

Yes. I do.

Here are the headers returned when I use "curl -D -":

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/html;charset=utf-8

Connection: close

But, despite promising 497.6K of data in the header, the server returns 62K and closes the connection.
