Since "collapsing margins" is an often misunderstood or totally lost standard behavior made partly useless by IE/win bugs, the easiest way to demonstrate and *test* for what's happening is to make the involved margin visible by preventing it from escaping its own container and collapse into other margins in standard compliant browsers. The 1px padding is interpreted the same way by all browsers, and once all involved vertical margins are uncollapsed and visible in the actual case, one can decide which ones to keep and which ones to change to achieve the intended line-up across browser-land.
