I've noticed this in IE 6 on Windows as well, although you can use
Ctrl+A to select all the text, even on the Webstandards.org page. Or
you get different results by placing your cursor and double-clicking. 

My guess is that it's an IE 6 issue, not a CSS issue. I've noticed
that IE 6 also crashes a lot when I try to print pages that use CSS,
whereas I have neither of these problems with Netscape 7.
