This is just the intended behaviour.
In previous browsers some elements are known to be very hard to deal with in
order to put things over them and the only solution is to hide them.

looking at
http://a799.g.akamai.net/3/799/388/e550103d010b73/www.msnbc.com/tools/nm/nmjs03.js

there is code that seems to be used just for this workaround:

if(nD==0){var
sV=b?'hidden':'',o;nm_mv('SELECT',sV);nm_mv('OBJECT',sV);nm_mv('EMBED',sV);nm_mv('IFRAME',sV);if(nm_nNN)nm_mv('INPUT',sV);}nm_nD=nD;}function
nm_mv(sT,sV){var ao=document.getElementsByTagName(sT);for(var
io=0;io<ao.length;io++){var
o=ao[io];if(!o||o.nm_bOk)continue;o.style.visibility=sV;}}

Marking this as invalid.
