I created a simpler page [1] and it seems that in IE8 beta 1 a <br> with clear never makes a container to enclose a floated child, even if it has display:block. And content following the <br> never clears the float. In good browser this enclosing/clearing always happens. All (including IE8) agree in making a span with clear not to clear/force the enclosing, while a div (or a span made display:block) clears/forces the enclosing.
