It's vertical margin collapsing. When you have margins at the top and bottom of a block IE can put the block boundaries in unexpected places.

Try removing the default top and bottom margins from the <p>s and <hn>s you've got inside your boxes. Using padding instead of vertical margins means you don't have to think about the strangenesses of margin collapsing and IE's typically quirky version of it.
