I suspect most of your problems are caused by the inclusion of
interface.js. Unfortunately it hasn't been updated since release 1.2
so it causes problems. There is work going on ui.jquery.com which
should eventually replace it (although it has some quirks of its
own). Try taking out that file and see how it looks.

I'm afraid 1.1.2 is before my time so I'm not sure what's going on
here.

Again I think a lot of this is because interface.js is included in
your file. Try taking it out. I still see some strange behavior
without it but it helps a lot. Try adding this to your html file too
for the last IE problem.
<style type="text/css">
p { margin:1em 0; }
</style>

It should work if you take interface.js out.

jQuery is used all over the place but that certainly doesn't mean it
is bug free. Plus there are quirks that just does seem worth the code
necessary/performance hit to fix it. I've never seen this particular
issue with slide where the default margins on a paragraph in IE
somehow mess up the height calls during an animation. I guess I
usually set my own margin so I haven't seen it.
In any case try those two changes and see if that fixes your
problems. It seemed to work in my tests.
Good luck. :)
