Just found a question in stackoverflow regarding the same issue. A solution is to add class="ui-widget" to each tab.

I can confirm this against master - http://jsbin.com/ezawis/39.

This happens in IE7, but does not happen in later versions of IE simulating IE7, which makes debugging fun. I see that adding the class 

ui-widget
fixes the problem, but all that does is add a 
font-size
. Dynamically adding a 
font-size
to the 
ui-tabs-panel
via Firebug lite fixes the issue, but doing it via CSS has no effect.
