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

"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 */"
