I wish i could find the link, I'm sure IE won't just do background image swaps unless something else changes too...

/me goes off to google for the page that explains it...

a mention of it here (referring to a different technique):

TJKTabs Menu | CSS sclalable Tabs

"There is another IE issue, and this time it concerns IE6 too:
- If there is no rule declared for li a:hover, IE will swap background images only once, then the image "sticks". If you're browsing these examples with IE5/Win and didn't notice such behavior, it is only because the IE Conditional Comment in the pages already includes a declaration for the li a:hover rule. To take care of IE6, we need to swap color or background-color, i,e.:

li a:hover {color:yellow} /* MSIE fix */"


QED...
