IE 6 requires a space after the first-letter psuedo-element. See http://reference.sitepoint.com/css/pseudoelement-firstletter . The minifier should add this.
IE6 javascript support was dropped (Gerrit change #152072)
But we still support it (mostly) for CSS. (If you ask me, the 'mostly' enables us not to care about this particular thing and WONTFIX this… it would have been fixed years ago if anyone wanted to.)
Agreed (even though I filed it). It doesn't make sense to do this for an end of life program. (Note, JS-loaded CSS will also not be loaded in IE 6, which is a lot, especially for interactive features).
