Joe, this looks like the Guillotine bug...

http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer/guillotine.html

IE toggles it's (incorrect) float-clearing behavior when certain  links are hovered, cutting off the
content that extends below the edge of the float. Other links (such as the homepage link) will
restore the clearing.

You'll need to add a clearing element just before the closing body tag. In your case, something like
the following seems to work well - 

<br style="clear: both; height: 0; line-height: 0; font-size: 1px;">

hth,

~holly
