Bug in IE with utf-8 and JavaScript

Has anyone mentioned a strange bug in IE when working with pages in
utf-8? Synopsis is that after executing particular JavaScript code (not
any, but about any - for example, clicking a link with
href="javascript:void(0)" is a case) and scrolling window content
characters get messed... This happens without any CSS - text + A tag is
enough condition. Note that the text get messed not immidately after
clicking the link, but after scrolling or any other actions causing
repainting window - i.e. overlapping window by another one. Does anyone
know any workaround?
Sample HTML follows:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<P>text text text text text text text text text text text text text
text <A href="javascript:void(0)">link</A> text text text text
<P>text
<P>text

Sorry, I left an important detail: font size in IE should be set to
"small" or any other non-default value

Never heard of such problem. Works just fine with IE 6.0 under Windows
98 SE and Windows XP SP1. It may be a problem with your video card.

Also if the posted code is indeed the one you are feeding to the
browser, I would expect some possible strange behavior (but not this
one) :-)

Skip on <body> if you really want to - but give to the poor man <html>
and <head> at least. :-)
