The following declaration in printCommon.css damages the display of subscripts in Microsoft Internet Explorer (7): p, .documentDescription { margin: 1em 0 ! important; line-height: 1.2em; } The subscripts get partially covered by the following line, the lower part disappears on selecting text. The workaround is to specify P { LINE-HEIGHT: AUTO } somewhere afterwards.
On en.wp we are now experimenting with some CSS added trough js, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki%3ACommon.js&diff=289159257&oldid=284132757 Specifically targeted for IE.

At least I cannot find "documentDescription" or "printCommon.css" anywhere in the MediaWiki codebase.
I stand corrected. core/skins/common/commonPrint.css still exists, with this line: p { margin: 1em 0; line-height: 1.2em; }
I do not know about v7 but the subscripts look all right in v8. Effective line-height is 1.5em.
