No doubt you are onto something here with large content vs. small content pages, but there isn't any way the browser could be missing any HTML nor for some HTML elements to be more clear than others. It's either there or it's not.
The HTML doesn't specify a width in pixels. It just tells the browser to make the column a certain percentage of the total width of the browser window (since the server can't know how wide you have made your browser window.) If an image (or long unbroken string of text) is wider than the column width, the browser will push the column out further than the specified percentage.
Is it possible that on pages you see rendered (incorrectly) at 100% of the browsers width contain an image (or long text string) that is forcing it out? To me it doesn't seem like this is the problem, but it's the only thing I can think of.
I have looked at the pages you mention in Mac firefox 0.8 and they all render the same (correctly.) So this is going to be hard for me to debug. I will download 0.9 later and try it in that, maybe they introduced a bug. You are using 0.9, right?
