Its been documented on <http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/BUGS.html> since mid 2002 and it's already known since at least mid 2001, see <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-validator-css/2001Jul/0086> Tantek even links the beforementioned document and my summary report <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-validator-css/2001Oct/0070> on <http://tantek.com/CSS/Examples/boxmodelhack.html> since mid 2003.
