Yes, that happens, afaik not in certain cases, but with certain 
versions/or settings of IE6.

If you remember, please tell, as I don't know of any way to 
resolve it.

Since :hover doesn't apply to LI in IE, I'm guessing it's on the 
A that this happens.
But I wouldn't know how applying a background image to the LI 
would make it do any rollover effect in IE.

I just looked at your page in IE6, so, if you just check your 
logs for IP 82.169.233.66, you can see if the images were called 
more than once. (I have an IE6 version that does invoke the 
effect on my own pages, and I hovered plenty ;-))

Note: in IE, the entire picture initially disappears on :hover. 
It's only when I go to another website, and use the backspace 
button to go back to your page, that the desired visual effect is 
there.
