I am checking 'log' view of git repository; it should have enough
ref markers to test this issue.

It works also in Konqueror 3.5.3-0.2.fc4...

...but the same artifact can be seen too.  Also I am not entirely

you cannot style element using CSS2.1 based on the pseudo-class :hover
of descendant element, or/and pseudo-class of sibling element, which
nevertheless overlays given element.
