Other than using a timer to count the number of elements over time and looking for changes, I can't think of a better way to simulate this event.
Is there some sort of proprietary IE version of DOMNodeInserted? Thanks.

A:
No, there isn't. The nearest is the propertychange event, which fires in response to a change in an attribute or CSS property of an element, but it doesn't fire in response to innerHTML changing, which would have been close to what you wanted.

You can over-ride all the DOM-manipulation methods - appendChild, insertBefore, replaceChild, insertAdjacentHTML, etc - and monitor innerHTML with onpropertychange.
You might be able to come up with a solution that satisfies your requirements.
BTW, it seems that DOMNodeInserted, etc will be deprecated by browsers in the future. See http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Events/#events-mutationevents

just curious, where did you see the deprecation part about DOMNodeInserted?

@Anurag Note: The MutationEvent interface was introduced in DOM Level 2 Events, but has not yet been completely and interoperably implemented across user agents. In addition, there have been critiques that the interface, as designed, introduces a performance and implementation challenge. A new specification is under development with the aim of addressing the use cases that mutation events solves, but in more performant manner. Thus, this specification describes mutation events for completeness, but deprecates the use of both the MutationEvent interface and the MutationNameEvent interface.
