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...
