Hi, Michael,
It looks like IE is having issues with trying to juggle the
text-indent along with the positioning and the margin. I found that
replacing the margin-left: 3em with padding-left: 3em, setting the
label's left position to zero, and then giving the paragraph layout,
seemed to do the trick.
HTH,
Michael
