Well, I don't know if this helps at all Ben, but what I found (using IE5)
is that the default status text reappears if you move the cursor off to the
right of the screen (or down to the bottom), outside the borders of the
table containing the page content.  Set the main table border to 1, then
after moving the cursor over a link, move it across the right and you'll
see what I mean.

I don't know if this is an IE5 bug or something that can be addressed in
the javascript you're using, but thought I'd mention it in case it helps!
