I can tell what is happening in safari 1.31, but I'm not sure how to fix it. If you add a light background color to the li you will see how gecko and khtml differ. In firefox/gecko the li element is affected by the float and thus moves over to accommodate it and the bullet is drawn relative to the li. In safari/khtml the li flows under the float just like the ul does and there is sort of an invisible container that is affected by the floated image and the bullet is drawn relative to this anonymous block. Unfortunately, the only way I've been able to think of to fix it in safari is to add extra markup inside the li. Hopefully someone else on the list will have a solution.
