I did some more testing on this issue and filed a bug. This only appears to be in effect when the browser is rendering in quirks mode. Try adding a doctype to your HTML.
My test page is http://search.missouristate.edu/map/mobile/examples/float.htm Adding either a doctype or specifing a marker size fixes the issue on that page.
