I believe this is the same problem that I showed here [1], and reported to MS as a bug [2] (it showed up in IE7 beta 3, if I remember correctly) It depends on the "hasLayout" status of the problem child. If you remove both height and min-height from its properties (both of which give it hasLayout), then its wrong behaviour disappears.
