Is this problem related to the style support? If you remove the style /
rule usage, does this problem go away? I'd expect not, but want to
narrow it down.

Also, you're not using Google Maps as a base layer by any chance, are
you?

Also, does your map have a border or margin around it? You can look at
this in Firefox by looking at the element using Firebug, clicking the
HTML tab, clicking "Inspect" and looking at the 'Layout' sub-tab to the
right in Firebug.

A small Javascript/HTML example of this would be good.  Ah, I see you've
attached one. Andreas may be able to help in that case.

I feel like there either is or was an open ticket on this. It's possible
that we punted on it for some reason, or that this is a different issue.
Eric or Pierre might have more ideas on that.
