This is actually a limitation in the IE browser itself, and how it handles
transparent PNG images. In IE6, transparency was achieved by applying an IE 
filter.
IE7 simply applies this same filter automatically - which, indeed, reproduces 
the
same defect.

The fix is to explicitly set the z-layer of the link itself to be higher than 
that of
the png image. Failing that, you'll have to shift the text off of the png.

This is a duplicate of Issue #76.

It should be fixed in the next release.
