It sounds like IE implements this *better* than the standard -- and since I always assume that IE makes the worst possible choices in all cases, this is pretty surprising to me.
For those who can't be bothered to read the MS blog explanation: the eyes are rendered using an embedded object tag with bad data, and IE8 by default will not allow an object to be pulled from a different domain than the page being rendered. I don't see how that's being billed as an "ActiveX" error (I thought ActiveX was dead now anyway?), it's just a perfectly reasonable thing to do, IMHO.
The point is, the "mirror" of the ACID2 test is in fact a substantially different page than the actual original test, because one points entirely to content on its own domain, and one points to content from a different domain. If they pulled over the original test and fixed the URLs so they were consistent (e.g. pointed to the mirror's domain), I suspect it would render the same as the original.
