Mistakenly sent my response to Percy, rather than to the list: This was
fixed with r1692, http://trac.openlayers.org/changeset/1692 closing bug
#333, http://trac.openlayers.org/ticket/333 , and the patch available at
the bottom of the page on r1692 should allow you to fix this issue for
older OpenLayers instances. Alternatively, this fix is included in the
2.2-rc1 currently being tested, and will be included in the final 2.2
release.
