Without digging deeply, this sounds like the applying-opacity-to-a-png- filtered-image bug + the ie-alpha-filter-over-text bug. Basically, IE 6 & 7 suck at processing opacity.

Unfortunately quirksmode hasn't posted my comment telling me how wrong I was :-/. I've found the best way to deal with PNG in IE is to process all the alpha filters on page load with the images hidden, and display them afterwards. This means more IE-specific code (and longer load times), however, so it's a matter of preference.
