I found a similar problem. Oddly, in my case the error for the MoodalBox in IE6 is directly related to the page size. When the page reaches a certain limit, the opacity disappears, and then for even larger pages, it displays and opacity of 1, rather than the lighter opacity that was set.
I also tried setting IE opacity using filter:alpha=<#1 to 100>, without success.
