I'm new to this argument so I may be missing something, but the only web-based features that wouldn't be accessible on Linux would be IE only, since IE isn't available for Linux. There is obviously the old 'Lazy Designer' theory where certain browser features need to be tweaked to work in other browsers, and often designers explain to the client that this means several days work for a very small proportion of their user-base, which can lead clients to just say 'Balls to it then.' but there's also the possibility that they might be hoping to use client-side VBScripting, in which case the best bet is just to stay the hell away full stop.
I'm not actually running Linux, I'm using Mac OS X but I understand this plight, since the same thing seems to happen to Mac users all the time, despite the fact that we supposedly have a supported version of IE!
