The problem is a bizarre bug in blogspirit — it adds HTML to comment excerpts, but then will cut if off in the middle of a tag. Firefox is smart enough to realize that this malformed HTML should be ignored, but IE is foolish enough to take blogspirit at its word.

I fixed this specific problem, and I hope blogspirit gets around to fixing this annoying problem. My support ticket has been open for days with no response yet.

To give you a sense of blogspirit's “helpfulness,” here is how their last response (to Ticket # 823) ended:

“we have a lot of things to do which are more important, but it's in our todo list.”

They have a lot more important things to do than provide a site that works as advertised? Apparently so… :-(
