What's up is our quality and strictness!
Sounds like you actually found a bug in 4.5 that was fixed in 5.0.
In your example, the :visited rule comes after the :hover rule and supercedes
it since they have the same specificity.
Try this (I just moved the :visited rule to immediately after the :link rule):
<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
<!--
A:link { color: #0000FF }
A:visited { color: #666666 }
A:hover { color: #0000FF; background: #FFFF00; text-decoration: underline }
A:active { color: #000000; background: #999999; text-decoration: underline }
-->
</STYLE>
