Attempt at further explanation wrt IE screwiness...

For some crazy stupid reason... If the div doesn't affect the layout
in any visible way, IE tries to be smart and ignores the div (does not
put it into the G_MAP_MARKER_PANE layer as instructed), but it
recognizes the attempt to listen for clicks and somehow merges it with
the G_MAP_OVERLAY_LAYER_PANE (if any overlays already exist --
applying zIndex within this pane) listening only for clicks within the
boundaries of existing overlays (but ignoring clicks in the above
marker layer). As soon as I made the div affect the layout (via the
afore-mentioned color + transparency method), it did what I told it to
and stuck the div into the correct layer and listened for clicks as it
was told to. Go figure...
