wmode in Internet Explorer

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use embedSWF method
2. Add wmode parameter with a value of opaque
3. View in IE

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected to see animated DOM elements above the swf file and not behind it
Instead animated DOM elements were showing underneath the swf file. Opera,
Chrome, Safari, and Firefox all render correctly. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
swfObject 2.1 on XP, Mac OSX, Vista

Please provide any additional information below.
Using debugbar I was able to see the ie may have changed the wmode value to
window. I am not sure why or what that means, but I thought it was strange. 

<div id="home-flash-section"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
    var flashvars = {};
    var params = {wmode: "opaque"};
    var attributes = {};
    swfobject.embedSWF("path to swf file", "home-flash-section", "795", "59",
"9.0.0", "/js/swfobject/expressInstall.swf",flashvars,params,attributes);
    swfobject.registerObject("home-flash-section", "9.0.0",
"/js/swfobject/expressInstall.swf");
</script>
