Setting table cell widget height=100% is ignored on IE

GWT Release:
1.1.10
Browser or OS version (if applicable):
IE
Detailed description:
On IE, cells in a table must be set to 100% height before IE will respect
the widget's directive to be set to 100% height.

Example code showing the problem (strongly preferred):
import com.google.gwt.core.client.EntryPoint; 
import com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.Button; 
import com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.FlexTable; 
import com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.RootPanel; 
/** 
 * Entry point classes define <code>onModuleLoad()</code>. 
 */ 
public class ImageViewer implements EntryPoint { 
        public void onModuleLoad() { 
                final RootPanel rootPanel = RootPanel.get(); 
                { 
                        final FlexTable flexTable = new FlexTable(); 
                        rootPanel.add(flexTable, 50, 20); 
                        flexTable.setCellSpacing(10); 
                        flexTable.setBorderWidth(5); 
                        { 
                                final Button button = new Button(); 
                                flexTable.setWidget(0, 0, button); 
                                flexTable.getCellFormatter().setWidth(0, 0,
"156"); 
                                button.setText("Button 0-0"); 
                        } 
                        { 
                                final Button button = new Button(); 
                                flexTable.setWidget(1, 0, button); 
                                button.setText("Button 1-0"); 
                        } 
                        { 
                                final Button button = new Button(); 
                                flexTable.setWidget(0, 1, button); 
                                button.setHeight("100%"); 

flexTable.getFlexCellFormatter().setRowSpan(0, 1, 2); 
                                button.setText("Button 0-1"); 
                        } 
                } 
        } 



Workaround if you have one:
set the cell's height first

Is it worth the overhead of setting a predefined style/setHeight for each cell in
order to fix this?

Should come up again if it matters w.r.t. standards mode.
