Interestingly, if one puts IE 6.0 into quirks mode by omitting the doctype of the example page, the clipping will also be done properly.

If you apply "position: relative" (or anything else other than "fixed") to the parent element (in the example's case, "detail_photo_mask"), the image will be properly clipped.
