We worked around the problem by adding code in the fixIEOverlapping  
function in imp/js/controls.js to calculate the proper absolute  
position for the autocompletion div.  This file has been stripped and  
renamed to autocomplete.js (as well as other changes to other files  
for other fixes) which is why we didn't submit this for use.  Anyway,  
here's the code if it's useful:

fixIEOverlapping: function() {
     Position.clone(this.update, this.iefix,  
{setTop:(!this.update.style.height)});
     this.iefix.style.zIndex = 1;
     this.update.style.zIndex = 2;
     //*** BEGIN Change ***
     // Need to set the left position bceause IE shifts it to the left  
for each added address
     var e = document.getElementById('to');
     var n = e.offsetLeft;
     var p = e.offsetParent;
     while(p&&p.tagName!='BODY')
     {
         n+=p.offsetLeft;
         p=p.offsetParent;
     }
     this.update.style.left = n;
     //*** END Change ***
     Element.show(this.iefix);
   }

Not elegant but it does work.  Sounds like the problem will go away in  
the near future anyway.
