It kind of makes sense to fix that leak in compatmode. It doesn't affect the
display of the page directly but it would affect the browser, regardless of
compatmode.
Otoh, if they have a fix for it they ought to push it back for at least ie8.
But I guess that's just typical msft at work.
(Note that the compat modes are all slightly different from the browsers
they emulate, I'm sure everyone can tell you a story how something works in
IE7 compat but not in the real IE7. The same, as you see now, goes for IE9's
compat mode, and it's not surprising. Emulating such browsers
is undoubtedly difficult.)
