Interesting Chris. I'v always styled the <body> with margins,
positioning, sometimes padding...etc and it always has an effect. But have
you applied colors, images to that? This pen shows what I'm referring to (and
I've never experienced because of my mark-up conventions):

Notice the border and padding honor the width, but not the color. I wonder
why...

I believe that's because backgrounds on <body> propagate to the viewport -
that's the root (<html>) element. Unless, that is, you have a background
specified for <html>.
Try adding this to your pen's CSS:
html { background-color: white; }
