Odd, isn't it?

This seems to happen when you give a font-size in em to any element that
does not normally inherit its font-size. Use percentages instead and the
problem goes away. ISTR also that simply setting:

  body { font-size: 100%; }

fixed the problems in one of my sites, with the rest of the size set in em.

Goodness knows what's going on inside IE's head...
