It's at least partly due to this chunk in style.css:
================
/*------ twocolumns ------*/
.twocolumns{width:984px;overflow:hidden;border-top:1px solid #e4e4e4;background:url(images/bg-twocolumns.gif) repeat-y;margin:0 auto;padding:0 7px 0 1px}
================

If I remove "overflow:hidden" from that list, it fixes the issue.

In the not-too-distant-past, I would have duped this to bug 129941, but that bug's now resolved. :)  bz, do you know if there are still existing bugs on us cropping printouts when overflow:hidden is set?

Not offhand, modulo discussion in bug 609227...

Clearly _something_ is broken here, though.

(See also bug 588288, which is also an overflow:hidden-dependent printing truncation bug.)
