The spec says "When a box B is relatively positioned, the position of  
the following box is calculated as though B were not offset. "  
<http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#choose-position>

However, I can't answer your question because I couldn't see any  
difference between Safari/Webkit and ff2.

My (possibly flawed) understanding of the spec is that the browser  
should show the space that would have been occupied by the r.p. box  
and show the content of the box offset as appropriate.  The browser  
should not shift following content due to the offset unless clearing  
floats would dictate otherwise.
