It seems so.  I checked this article:

     Fortunately, there is a simple solution that fixes many of the IE
float bugs. We saw earlier that all floats become a block box. The
standard says that the display property is to be ignored for floats,
unless it's specified as none. If we set display:inline for a floating
element, some of the IE/Win bugs disappears as if by magic. No one
knows exactly why. IE/Win doesn't make the element into an inline box,
but many of the bugs are fixed.
