I'm getting this last result *only* in IE 8 and *only* when in so-called 
"standards mode." In other words, this is an IE 8 problem with any valid 
or unknown DOCTYPE.

Without getting into issues of markup, I suggest using the following 
META tag in the <head> of your page:

   <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7">

I could not find a CSS solution. Sorry.

Cordially,
David
