Not sure what you have done, but both browsers should do this correctly. In fact I've just done this very thing on the new ABC homepage [http://www.abc.net.au/] - the 'features' items at the bottom of the center column use an absolutely positioned gif to create the bevelled corners.
By the way, IE 5.0 Mac will position elements relative to the body unless you specify 'position:relative' for *all* of an element's ancestors, not just the immediate parent.
