Yes, it is a bug in IE but you could see it the same in IE by using
a DOCTYPE declaration which triggers its standards-compliance mode:

You may try removing the whitespace between the two adjacent IFRAME
elements and then set their 'frameborder' to 0 as the sum of their
widths is 100% of the containing block width, then their border
widths are added which causes them to break.
