But you do have to account for people who are actually using IE7 :-) So you
can use the meta tag set to IE=7 for testing purposes so you can discover
the problem's solution.

If you hit F12, IE9&  8 will bring up their DOM inspectors: to the
right of the topmost menu is a Browser Mode button. You can switch
this to IE7, IE8, and compatibility modes and get perfect emulation
without having to modify the markup.

IE9 is different from IE8. The differences are mainly a whole lot of issue with floats which over the last year has been discussed on the CSS WG. IE7 compatibility modes in both IE8 and IE9 do not show the true IE7.

I would say that if it works in recent versions of WebKit, Presto or Gecko, it should work in IE9. Please remember that IE period is not like any other browser since it has distinct versions. In saying this, it is not a bad thing. It has allowed IE9 to be on par with other browsers in respect to CSS2.1 and with large support of CSS3.
