    There is a line break and some whitespace for indentation after the image tag, which leads to creating an empty text node.

    If you write your code like that:

    <div class="logo"><img src="img/logo.png"/></div>

    you will not have the empty text node any more.

    Since it’s really IE specific, I think it’s just a bug of the parser.
