Yes.

There's a bug in Gecko's shrink-to-fit algorithm if there's a shrink-to-fit 
child inside the thing you're working with.  Since the float has no width set, 
it's shrink-to-fit, so you hit the bug.

We expect to have this bug fixed in Gecko 1.9; the relevant builds render your 
page identically to Opera.
