We have discussed this IE/Win problem in
http://www.satzansatz.de/cssd/acidicfloat.html

As long as your float is wrapped in container that have "layout", they 
will expand to contain the float.

(If you try to counteract this by position:relative/overflow hacks for 
IE, then the float leaves the wrapper, but becomes "invisible" for 
subsequent clearing elements, since it would be taken completely out of 
the flow, similar to absolute positioning.)
