That looks like correct rendering to me... the table cell has:

font-size: 0.6em
line-height: 0.75em

Which means the line height is purposefully set to be less than the font size. 
If that is not the case in IE, that is a bug in IE.

Yes, but look at marked text image, should it be like that?

Comment 3

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

With that line-height and assuming that highlighting makes the border
non-transparent?  Yes, per the CSS spec.

Browser sniffing in this page makes it to use different style sheets for IE and
NS/Mozilla: http://www.namo.com/style/pro_ie.css and
http://www.namo.com/style/pro_ns.css respectively. If they were using the same
line-height in those files, the displayed text formatting would be identical
(you can easily verify if you save the page). Marking as invalid.
