I've seen this same behavior with recent versions of Plone (1.0.1+) and
believe it's been filed in the Plone bug Collector.  As far as I've been
able to tell, it *only* occurs with IE6+ (5.0, 5.5 work fine, as do other
browsers).  Unfortunately, I'm not a good enough CSS guru to pinpoint
what's going on.  Maybe with the extra attention this bug will get with
Zope.org now using Plone, someone'll figure out how to squash it.
