Background color flashes & vanishes

[ghost]

PIE (version 1.0beta1) isn't working for a rather simple case: a header element with background color and rounded corners, inside a DIV that also has a background color. Testing with Win 7 (IE 8) under VMWare, the behavior is identical for all combinations of IE7/8 browser mode and document mode: the background color of the styled H3 flashes briefly and then is removed. (If background color is replaced by a background image, it still doesn't display but there is no flash.) Quoting Gordon Brander: "The PIE elements are there, but they are coming in beneath the container with the background color. You can see this by removing the background color using the IE inspector tool. "

Test file is http://dawson.nu/PIEtest.html invokes PIEtest.css in the same directory; PIE.htc is there as well. The Apache server's config file contains "AddType text/x-component .htc".
