It works correctly on the latest WebKit nightly build, so it's a  
2.0.4 bug.

Personally I tend to use the nightly builds for testing as they run  
alongside Safari and I can't sensibly get rid of 2.0.4 by installing  
3 Beta. For example, I encountered a layout issue yesterday and by  
downloading the latest nightly was able quickly to determine that it  
was a Safari issue which was fixed on more recent builds, thereby  
saving myself the time of trying to work out if I'd done something  
wrong which was merely being tolerated by the other browsers.

If anybody out there is currently testing their stuff for Safari on  
the version 3 Beta, either Mac or Win, and thinks that if it works  
there then it's "OK in Safari", I would suggest they seriously  
reconsider their position. Version 2.0.4 will be around for quite  
some time to come. Yet another browser to support... <sigh />

Oh, link for those interested: <http://nightly.webkit.org/>
