I almost always have to use a conditional stylesheet to get around one idiosyncracy or another in IE. They are getting shorter and shorter as my CSS skills improve.
overflow: hidden helps keep IE in step with everyone else, in my experience. I recommend doing whatever you need to do suing CSS# but check the site periodically in IE and install the developer tools for IE so you can see what crazy tangent IE has looped off to.
