You may want to "give it layout" in an IE6 specific stylesheet with something
like:
#elem a:link, #elem a:visited {
display:inline-block;
}
#elem a:link, #elem a:visited {
display:block;
}
I know it sounds stupid but worked for me for this same problem.

Subject: Re: [css-d] li:hover for IE6
Hi,
I tried that but it only changes the background for the length of the text
of the <a> tag. I tried display:block. Am I missing something?
Regards,
Sohail
