It is a known combination-bug, and most cases can be solved by adding a
'hasLayout'[1] trigger to the right container.
Adding...
#progress {height: 1%;}
...should do in your test-case - at least in IE6 (I don't have IE7).
Of course, such 'hasLayout' triggers may have negative effects in many
cases, and finding the right container to add it to is not always easy
in more complex layouts. Thus, it's not a "general fix".

Browser-bugs are often confusing, since most bugs lack any and all
logic. Bugs are created by humans, so... :-)
This lack of logic is one reason for testing, testing and more testing
in each case, and to avoid noting any solution as the "perfect fix for
all cases".
