Unknown runtime error in IE.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Found in what component (Widget/FAQ/Library):
gwt2.0
FixedWidthGrid method setWidget() in IE gives "Unknown runtime error"

Detailed description:
This only happens in IE both on Debug mode and on actual runtime.

This is the method invocation that I found using the debugger  

com.google.gwt.gen2.table.client.FixedWidthGrid.setWidget()
com.google.gwt.gen2.table.override.client.HTMLTable.setWidget()
com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.HTMLTable.removeFromParent()
com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.HTMLTable.cleanCell()
com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.HTMLTable.internalClearCell()

tries to do 
DOM.setInnerHTML() and this gives the error

Here is the Error from debug console:
00:24:34.938 [ERROR] Uncaught exception escaped

Any idea for workaround?

I have the same one when I attempt to setHTML on an Anchor object like that:
topExportLink.setHTML("<a href='" + urlLink + "'>" + commonsLabels.export() + 
"</a>");

The same error appends if I replace the last line by this one : 
topExportLink.setText(commonsLabels.export());
topExportLink.setHref(urlLink);

But I think it's not these lines which are the cause of the issue, because when 
I'm debugging with eclipse, I have a TargetInvocationException with the Unknown 
Runtime Error in cause.

The complete trace in attachment.

I finally could avoid the error by extending FixedWidthGrid and setting the 
clear text to empty string. The default clear text is " "

                public MyFixedWidthGrid() {
            super();
            setClearText("");
        }
