absolute-positioning

I have LI that I want to fade out and back in. Within the list item I have some text. This text is positioned absolutely within the LI.

The catch is that in IE8 (IE6 and 7 seem fine) I can get everything to fade except the text:

If I remove the absolute positioning on the text element (in this case, a P), IE8 then can fade the text properly:

Anyone know why this is? Anyone know of a fix?
