Hi Eric -- Here is what I am experiencing.
When reading in a KML layer using the VML renderer, the first point displays at the correct location. If the layer has multiple points after the first point is added a child node is added to the root as directed in elements.drawGeometry. As soon as a child node is appended to the root, the first point shifts and is no longer at the correct location. Try opening the kml-layer.html example using IE6, then use Firefox (which uses the SVG renderer). The Firefox points will be accurate and will reflect what you would see in Google Earth, the IE6 points do not. I've attached the OL 2.5rc3 build, with alert messages in key parts of the renderer code. My attachment has a sample KML point layer included.
