No problems in my IE6 (standalone version), but serious probs in IE7:

From what I tested quickly, it's caused by the italic text in the <em>
elements (IE italic bug), but can be solved by making enough space for
it, or constraining elements by giving them zoom:1 (IE only code, will
cause validation error). Zoom:1 gives an element 'layout' in IE
(Google for 'hasLayout'), just like position:relative does in some
cases too.
