OK, _now_ the question is understandable.

Basically you have a list item that _starts_ with an inner list. This is of
course syntactically allowed and might make sense in odd cases, but normally
there's some kind of a header for the inner list and the problem does not
occur. When it does, IE indeed seems to misbehave.

At least on IE 7, both in "standards" and "quirks" mode, the problem can be
fixed by adding the following artificial rule:
li { border: solid transparent 1px; }
(I guess I gets somehow rectified when it notices that it has to draw a
border around a list item. :-))
