I don’t know if this is the cause, but you have a bad, non-UTF-8 character somewhere on your page (on line 1106 according to the validator). I think that it may be an accented e.
Hey, thanks for answering.
Well, this is a french “blog” so a lot of letters have accents (éèêàâ etc.).
This is, without a doubt, the weirdest bug I’ve seen on a webpage.
Advices/suggestions/solutions(!) appreciated.
Thanks iridiax.

I’m doing a “bump”… just in case someone else, who didn’t see my question, would happen to have a solution.
Thanks.

I resolved the problem.
After Googling for about an hour, I found that it’s a fairly uncommun bug in IE 6.0.
To solve the problem, I went in my theme’s stylesheet and added “position:relative;” to the #ID of the text in the posts (in my case: “#content1 p”).
The result:
#content1 p {
padding-left: 10px;
position:relative; /* This line */
}
More information and other workarounds if that didn’t worked:

Hi Justin,
Thanks for this solution!
I had been experiencing this problem in ie7 and was flabbergasted and flummoxed when I saw the text disappear and reappear before my eyes. I thought it was just my browser but I tested the site on browsershots.org and saw the same problem on their test results.
Now all is fixed and everybody is happy!
Thanks again.
