Since it acts very much like the peekaboo bug, I wonder if any of those
fixes would work?
a. add line-height to "html"
b. add position: relative to "html"
c. add width: 100% to "html"
d. add height: 1% to "html"
If any of these fixes cause problems because they are applied to the
html element, you could always wrap everything in a container and apply
the background to that instead.
