That doesn't seem to fix the issue.  It changes the color on the
error'd images but doesn't solve the border and icon IE throws in.  I
will try messing around with OpenLayers.Util.onImageLoadError and try
setting them to display: none or something.

If anyone wants a demo of what the issue is:   http://leetpi.com/map/
Project/Code is @: http://github.com/sakkaku/OpenLayers.SecondLife

If you pan down and to the left you can get some pretty early on or
paste map.zoomToRegion("Sandbox Island Extension"); Into firebug/dev
toolbar console.
