Are you testing on a full-blow IE6 setup or one of the multiple-IE 
installations? If
the latter, have you installed IE8 beta recently.

I am testing on a full blown IE6 setup and the only browser installed is IE6.

 I have never installed either IE7 or IE8 on that machine. I tested this on a different machine (running windows 
2000 and IE6) and absolute position works fine on that machine. 

The machine that shows the bug with absolute positioning is running windows 
XP/SP2 (not windows 2000) 
and a slightly later version of IE6 so maybe that has something to do with it.

To recap:
1) Absolute positioning test broken: windows XP SP2, IE6 6.0.2900.2180 xpsp_xp2
2) Absolute positioning test works:   windows 2000,    IE6 6.0.2800.1106
