IE Image Properties in Positioned Div - changeset #2375 Fail

Unable to retrieve/display image properties for an image element nested in a positioned div element.

I have applied the patches in changeset #2375 http://dev.fckeditor.net/changeset/2375 and re-packaged the code, but to no avail.

My desired html typically resembles something like:

<div style="position:relative;background-image:url(/App_Themes/Theme01/Images/Banners/09-background.gif);background-repeat:no-repeat;height: 258px;width:776px;">
<div style="left: 10px; position: absolute; top: 66px">Finishline Motors</div>
<div style="left: 460px; position: absolute; top: 35px; text-align: left">888-590-7993<br />
531 Route 46,<br />
Kenvil, NJ 07847<br />
finishlinefin@aol.com</div>

<!--start problem image markup-->
<div style="left: 280px; margin: 0px; position: absolute; top: 70px; text-align: left;"><img alt="" src="http://localhost:1756/AppImages/Banners/cars/380x250/Audi/R8/right.png" /></div>
<!--end problem image markup-->

</div>

But even stripping it down to something like the example described in ticket #798 http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/798:

<div style="float:right;"><img alt="" src="http://localhost:1756/AppImages/Banners/cars/380x250/Audi/R8/right.png" /></div>

...still fails.

Everything works exactly as expected in FF 2.x/3.x, regardless of how complex/nested the positioning of elements.

Any suggestions/feedback greatly appreciated!
