That is very strange, i had run into a very opposing yet similar
problem with IE and fade effects.
Without what IE considers a "layout" on the object the text will look
bold as the element transitions, this is fixed by giving the element a
background color and a width or height, can't remember but it might be
something quirky like that.
try a css rule that looks like
body *{
background-color:#fff;
}
and see if it has the same effect.
Good luck with that, i havn't run into that one yet strangely enough,
let us know how it goes.
