This is actually the infamous "Peekaboo" bug in IE.
Anytime you have a float and a CSS declaration doesn't
give a height, IE will render the DIV incorrectly and
will disappear and reappear (peekaboo). Do a google
serach for "Peekaboo bug". It's usually fixed by just
specifying a height the the tag that's messing up. I
believe for most of Ecommerce it's the screenlet or
screenlet header tag. Although I'm sure it's more
than the single tag.

The ecommerce templates are really meant to be
customized. Some use them out of the box, but most
major sites do not. There has been an effort underway
to "modernize" the layout to make it more flexible,
and more CSS-based, especially for the layout. The
initial target for this effort is the Mozilla-based
browsers like Firefox and Netscape because they do not
have nearly as many bugs and quirks as IE 6. Hopefully
IE 7 will be better, but given the track record...
Anyway, you can file these as bugs in Jira but I don't
know if anyone is working on IE based formatting right
now anyway, especially not until the rest of the CSS
formatting is done and we can start worrying about
IE-specific issues (which certainly has to be done, no
good ecommerce site can live without it...).
The problem is that there is no good way to fund this,
so it is volunteer effort with dozens of other needs
competing for the time. Most of the funding in the
HTML/CSS area goes into custom sites, not improving
the base templates. When customizing the only thing
people care about in the base templates is the data
preparation and such...
