I can imagine. I've just made a small testcase of this bug, and
it seems related to the combination of the absolute positioned
element and the margin of the float.
The order of the two elements doesn't matter btw - I reversed
them in my test, didn't make a difference.

Testcase 1: a floated ul, like in your page (only right floated
instead of left)
http://here.locusmeus.com/temp/bug1.html
To see the effect, make your window less then 400px wide, refresh
the page: no black box. Then draw your window wider, and at about
a 50px (?) margin-left on the floated ul, the black box appears.

Testcase 2: a floated div.
http://here.locusmeus.com/temp/bug2.html
This time, the margin needed to make the black box appear is very
small, seems to be the natural padding of the body element.

To solve this problem for your page: make your ul#nav narrower.
The width of the absolute positioned element is irrelevant btw.
