[thelist] removeAttribute('class') not working in IE

Viewing the generated source from IE reveals that both the new division and the nested image both have the class attribute.  Can anyone suggest why this might be happening?  Is it a known bug or a 'feature'?

A bug, use className='' to remove. If you are likely to have more than
one class, remove any whitespace with the class name as MSIE/Mac
chokes on classes followed by a space at the end of the class value or
a space in front of the first class.
