Marcelo is right. The page doesn't have a DOCTYPE so IE interprets the
page using it's Quirks Mode instead of strict. Adding a DOCTYPE for
any of the strict types will make IE render the map properly. I
checked and this does fix the problem. Personally, I'd use my new
favorite, the HTML 5 type:
<!DOCTYPE html>

Incidentally, the gray space is caused by the width of a vertical
scroll bar in a nested DIV tag generated by the maps interface. It's
just a quirk of how IE Quirks Mode interprets rules.
