.... but after some testing:
A negative back-side margin will kill this bug in all its variations.
I used "margin-right: -1px;" on a left-float, and could then put in as
many variants of those bug triggers as I could come up with, and the bug
was gone no matter what.
After that I also found this bug described over at
http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer/dup-characters.html , with
some of the same solutions near the bottom.
So there; negative back-side margins on floats can do more than create
multi-column layouts. Another reason why I haven't had the need to kill
this bug earlier, I guess.
Note: In some layouts this back-side margin has to be compensated for,
since any left-float to the right of the one with the fix, will move 1px
to the left.
