That is the expected behaviour. CSS2.1:Appendix E has all the details. In short, the DIV without z-index (z-index:auto per definition) and the UL are both at the same stacking level (both are positioned, both have z-index:auto). Because the UL comes later in the source, it is painted/layered on top. Note that IE 6 & 7 do all kind of crazy things with stacking levels. If you use those browsers to test your page, results may not be consistent with the spec (cough, cough, how's that for a polite sentence ?).
