Yes (Nerodbojias) there is a hack.

Negative margins will not allow (in IE) the callouts to break outside their
container but relative positioning will.

For the left, remove
margin: left;

Add
position: relative; left: -50px;

To fix up the text flow change
margin-right: 10px;
to
margin-right: -40px;

Similar (but the other way round) for the right callout:

position: relative;
left: 50px;
margin-left: -40px;
