I still trying to get my head around what is truly happening.

Adding overflow:hidden for IE7 seems to fix the problem of the header 
dropping (escaping).

div#header {
   background: url(img/big-header3.png) left top no-repeat;
   margin: 0;
   border: 0;
   padding: 0;
   padding-top: 10px;
   overflow:hidden; /* Fixes IE7 */
}

This could be related to the IE escaping float bug. I say this since 
overflow:hidden also triggers hasLayout in IE7. I am still working on a 
offline copy of your code. Even though overflow:hidden fixes it problem, 
I have no idea that is so.
