Not really. It's just one of the many stacking problems IE/win has when
an area/container is not stiffen up - given 'Layout'. The variant you
experience is a bit harder to track down than usual though.

To fix it, you can add...
#content {height: 1%;}
...or another suitable 'hasLayout' trigger.
You will then have to compensate tor the 3px jog bug in IE6, as it
creates a gap between navigation and content area. This is easiest done
by adding...
* html #nav {margin: 0 -3px 0 3px; float: left;}
It is possible to add the 'hasLayout' trigger further in, but IE6 became
a bit unstable - more 'Layout' related bugs appearing, so I left it at
the outer div as shown above.
To reproduce the bug (before adding the fix), just do some step by step
font-resizing on various window-width larger than around 1000px. Parts,
or whole, paragraphs tend to disappear at some combinations of width and
font-size.
I tested in IE6 on win2K, and although it's easier to provoke the bug at
window-width above 1600, the width just has to be large enough for IE to
lose track of the area the paragraphs are in.
