This is not a bug. Amazon.com actually relies on broken behavior that was fixed
in bug 4377. Specifically tiger webkit would not paint any children of a layer
with visibility:none, even if visible.  The script

http://g-images.amazon.com/images/G/01/nav2/gamma/n2CoreLibs/n2CoreLibs-simplePopover-41389.js

has the following check in hide function (and similar for show)

if (goN2U.bIsSafari) { 
goN2U.hide(this.myID); 
} else { 
goN2U.undisplay(this.myID); 
} 

goN2U.hide() sets visibility:hidden for the top level abs positioned div, but
that does not anymore hide the children, leaving some user visible carbage.
Removing the Safari check and using generic undisplay() path (which sets
display:none) here makes the popup hiding work as expected (seemingly even with
tiger webkit).
