* What steps will reproduce the problem?
Add an anchor element to your markup. It should not have a href attribute.
In your CSS, style its hover pseudo-class.
Open the page in MSIE6 and hover the element.

* What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The element should be styled as specified in CSS. Instead, no styling is seen.
However, if you put an id attribute on the element and styled it though that 
(#id
{...) styling occurs.

* What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
IE8.js 2.0b3. I've also tried r29 (current development version).
Running MSIE6 through MultipleIE on WinXP in parallels on a mac.

A small correction, if not obvious:

* What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The element should be styled as specified in CSS. Instead, no styling is seen.
However, if you put an id attribute on the element and styled it though that 
(#id:hover
{...) styling occurs.

These are edge cases. I will look at fixing them in the next release.
