I cleaned up the css, removing the position: absolute,
layer-background-color, and padding, as well as adding a
standards-triggering doctype, and the height of the test div was in
fact dependant on the width of the browser window in IE 5.1 mac.

As far as height being related to width, absolutely positioned
elements with a percentage value for top are positioned based on the
width of the element. Same goes for margins and padding when declared
with percentages; they're a percentage of the element width. I'm not
sure where in the spec this is stated, but that's the way it actually
works.
