I suspect (not tested) it's because you're using the clearfix code - the 
* html hack doesn't work in IE7 - IE7 is seeing the height 1% as a 
literal height and not expanding the div to suit the content. (they 
fixed a lot and broke some hacks in the process)

try using conditional comments to deliver the height: 1% to IE 5 and 6 
variants and override it with a conditional comment CSS of height auto 
for IE 7
