    Thanks for all the suggestions Peter. I hadn't gotten it fixed until I set the width of the li as per your suggestion.
     
    Now the bullets show up in IE as desired.

    Any ideas how I can fix this in IE?

    not sure if youve solved this by now but often i find if you specify a background colour (instead of transparent), IE will play along nicely.

    so instead of :
    li.signInOptions {background: transparent url(../../admin/i/info.jpg) 0 5px no-repeat}
    try
    li.signInOptions {background: #fff url(../../admin/i/info.jpg) 0 5px no-repeat}

    of course, then thats a pain if you have a background image that needs to sit on varying background colours. you may end up needing to feed specific colours to certain uses, eg...
    #nav li.signInOptions {background-color:#ccc}
    ...if the li's needed to sit within a navigation area that has a background of #ccc
     
    the other thing to try when IE isnt displaying a background image is to specify a width on the li.
