I may not be a savy web developer but I don't really see this as being a better solution. The current userAgent string for Internet Explorer clearly specifies that I'm running IE7, so that would mean that it's the websites way of identifying the browser that is incorrect. So changing the userAgent to specify that the browser is MSWB and not MSIE would simply be another hack.
I agree that adding a new meta-tag isn't a good/better solution, I'm just saying that your suggestion isn't that much better.
