http://www.allinthehead.com/code/samples/bgsleight.js does the fix for bg images, works fine with 6.0 and 5.5 (try it at http://wiki.aulinx.de/). Also circumvents the path problem. The only problem is that the link cursor isn't shown by default when hovering the link, that might be solvable via css.
Both the background image and the plain image version can go into an IEFixes.js file that's included from the conditional-comment part that's already including the css filter. That way it's not downloaded by better browsers.
