Problem confirmed. It only occurs on links that initially fit on one line,
though. If the unhovered link is on two lines, it works fine.

I'm not sure why this happens, but I'd try to remove the padding-left: 10px
from the .subsection style. Padding only works on block level elements and
in IE4 it's impossible to make a link a block-level element (try display:
block; it doesn't work).

My guess is that it gets confused by the padding. Apply the padding on the
containing DIV instead and see if it works.
