I have a span containing two words. Eg.

<span>Avant Garde</span>

Using CSS, I insert a background image (a bullet) to the left of the
text. Eg.

span {
padding: 0 3px 0 11px;
background: url(images/tagbull.gif) no-repeat 0px 2px;
}

The tag renders as expected...unless the line wraps in the middle of the
two words. Then the background-image doesn't appear. This only happens
in IE. It renders fine (as expected) in Firefox 1.5 and Opera 8.51. Is
this a known IE bug?

To see an example, browse to the following URL with IE6 (obviously) and
expand the "10 Tags" link:
<http://arty.me.uk/2006/01/04/announcing-avantist/>

Look at the words "Avant Garde" at the end of the first line.
Now do the same with Opera or Firefox.
