While that is certainly true, my guess is that the border declarations are 
actually the problem. NN4 has a long and nasty history of problems with 
borders.

Try your original style sheet, but change the borders:

.NavText {
  font-size: 0.7em;
  text-align: left;
  width: auto;
  padding: 2px;
  background-color: #FFE;
  border: 1px solid #EEE;
  border-bottom-color: #333;
  border-right-color:  #777;
}

In a few similar cases I found that using the shorthand notations for 
'border-left', 'border-right' etc. (though not for 'border' itself) causes 
NN4 problems.

But maybe I'm wrong and this is an entirely different problem.
