I've finally managed to pull up an offending page in the DOM Inspector in
firefox.

All the assigned styles appear to of be correct associated with the right
nodes. The problem appears in that the table with class messageList has a
calculated width of 15 pixels and the trs within it have a width of 7. So
all the cells are rendered one after another across the page.

The containing form element has the correct calculated width (1100 odd on
my screen). Only the table seems to be misbehaving. 

Hope this helps folks track down the problem
