I don't think you should mix floating and positioning. The spec says
first:
'float'
Value: left | right | none | inherit
Initial: none
Applies to: all but positioned elements and generated content
And in the next paragraph:
"It may be set for elements that generate boxes that are not
absolutely positioned."
It would be nice if one could use relative positioning inside floats,
but the spec is not clear if this is permitted.

There seem to be some related issues reported as bugs for Mozilla:
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67543
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82852
But without a real test case I'm not sure about your problem.
