An explicit answer depends on your implementation which you say nothing
about in detail which is typical.
Are you using a Theme or a StyleSheetTheme ? Skins? Separate stylesheets?
Where might those stylesheets be located? How are they being loaded? Do you
attempt to apply style inline?
I use MasterPages myself and IIS (of course) neither of which generally
speaking has any adverse impact on styling content. Granted, CSS can impact
the page layout but again, you say nothing specific about your
implementation. For me, the key to understanding 2.0 Themes and Skins has
been learning how Themes and Skins or the StyleSheetTheme supports the css
class inheritance model.
Finally, I'm a one man band and don't use source control (yet) and have a
time or two or three realized I was not in fact using the files I thought I
had deployed. It sounds like you've simply blundered in the same way.

My experience now working with master pages on and off for 6 months is
that
they can be very dangerous when working with themes.
One example in particular is the changes I made to my banner menu which
now
work just fine with all my themes on my development machine but on my
production server my non-standard themes are showing effects that are no
longer in place even with a complete re-copy of my project.
Problems like this with masterpage/themes is so common for my project as
well as the project I have at work that when I need to make a change I
make a
full backup.
So the question I guess is this. Is there some advanced feature I am
missing
that will clear out the old themes settings that are hiding someplace that
is
comepletly beyond my understanding? The only place I can think that these
things are being stored is in the IIS itself and yes I have deleted all my
temp files in my browser and even tried accessing the same pages from
different machines!
Today I had to basically totally rebuild my banner. It wouldn't even
accept
a cut and re-paste!
