There is no problem shown on:
- Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/2006112304 Minefield/3.0a1 [reflow branch from 20061031]
- Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1pre) Gecko/2006112303 BonEcho/2.0.0.1pre
So I'm punting this over to Core:GFX:Thebes on suggestion.
