Bart,

There are no plans to test OL 2.7 with IE8.

At this point, the only release hasn't even resulted in *VirtualEarth*
working: They use IE7 compatibility mode on their own pages. If
Microsoft isn't up to the task of making their maps work with their 
browser, I'm certainly not going to spend a lot of time on doing the
same for OpenLayers. 

My feeling is that the current betas simply aren't ready. If this
changes before our release, we may take some steps to change this, but I
haven't seen evidence that this is likely before our 2.7 release.
