It is only the left-margin of the *first* floated DIV that has been replicated, and therefore IE needed only one extra pixel for the container. To further test this I assigned 10 pixels to the margin, and needed only to increase the container by 10 pixels. The proposed fix, display: inline, does indeed resolve the issue.
