What is actually happening is that IE is expanding #header to hold all
three images. It doesn't care that you told #header to be 195px tall --
there's an image in there that 249px tall, so IE is going to expand to
contain it.
To fix this, I'd position that image absolutely. To do this, add
position: relative to #header. I'd then reslice the images so that you
have one large image going all the way across, minus the circle portion,
that sits in #header. Make the circle its own image with a transparent
background, and place this image in a div with an id nested inside
#header. Then set position: absolute on this new div, plus top and left
values to position it where you want, and it should lay over the header
and content divs without any problem.

I don't see any drop downs on FF or IE.
