The problem is much more insidious than a repeating image. Basically,
when the link wraps to a new line, it is split into two blocks, and
each block gets the css applied to it separately, as if the other
block did not exist. I've messed with this a bit, and don't know of a
workaround.
I suggest using the Mac IE hack to remove the bg image and call it a
day. The original poster makes the erroneous assumption that Mac OSX
IE = Mac OSX, but in reality this is only rarely the case. Probably
less than 0.1% of the audience of a typical site. Most Mac IE hits
will be from users on Mac OS 9, which cannot use Safari and you have
to be pretty dedicated to find the Mozilla-brand download. Still, Mac
IE tends to be less than 1% of an audience; I run a website that gets
more than 40% of its pageviews from Macs, and it's Mac IE contingent
is only 4%.
