Wouldn't it make more sense for the word "Red" not to be visible at all, considering it comfortably fits its hidden box? I'm sure the specs dictate this behavior, but I'm looking for some rationale, specially given that overlaps and hidden stuff are quite common in CSS, if not the desired result.
Content - like the word "Red" - is initially defined to flow outside preceding floats, even if it means flowing outside its own container. Backgrounds are defined to not do that, unless block-formatting is declared on the container the background is declared on, in which case the container itself will flow outside preceding floats. So with identical dimensions on the two containers, and no block-formatting, or clear, declared on the last container, the result you get is logical and as expected.
