I don't use MSIE for anything other than checking pages to see how many hacks I have to work in to make IE behave, but in all of my time reading HTML groups and forums where the standard advice is to use a fully- qualified DTD, I have never heard mention of such a bug. Are you sure that there isn't some other markup error in the Wikipedia pages which is combining to create the effect in IE?
Here's a minimal test case:

It's got a single <div> with the style 'position: absolute' applied.
