Ok I see the issue. This only happens in IE7 because there is a "quirks" entry for it, so that gif image is only referenced when running in that browser. The blank.gif is used as a workaround for some IE bug with clickable areas, and it is being referenced from the wrong location in the SOLO file layout.
I'll file a bug in JIRA. Thanks for reporting this!
