While it is too simple to contain floats in IE, it is next to impossible
to uncontain them if the container has layout.

You can't if the container needs a width. Even if you'd manage to let
the float stick out of its overflown container via position:relative,
this float would be ignored by any following element, see Test E:

You'd have to keep it contained in IE, or you'll have to remove the
width from the container.
Most probably you'll have to reverse engineer this IE behavior in the
other browsers by giving in to containing.
