David,

IIRC IE 5x does not support CSS2 generated content[0] that you are 
attempting to use above. In fact all versions of IE are very buggy in 
their handling of list adornment in conjunction with other CSS 
selectors. The most reliable 'fix' for <ul>s is to use a background 
image with your bullet style of choice on the <li>.
