I beleive that if there are 2 elements with the same name ( or maybe its
id - check the docs) IE will return a collection, but if there is only one,
it returns a single element.
This has caused me numerous problems in the past.
But why would watir cause it... I really cant say. It certainly shouldnt be
changing anything on the page, just accessing what is there
