IE/win reads that empty spacer-div as if it has text inside - and add
line-height for it.

Solution:

Put an html-comment inside that div...
<div class="spacer"><!-- --></div>

...so IE know it's empty.

Next (just to be on the safe side) add...

.spacer {
font-size: 1px;
line-height: 0;
}

...and even IE will get the message :-)
