I was about to open a ticket for it, as a follow up to this page:
http://extrafuture.com/2010/12/07/ckeditor-and-ie7/
The problem is related to the presence of a <meta name="description"> tag. In fact, any textarea with name matching meta tag names will be troublesome.
I've attached a TC for it. The problem can be confirmed in IE8 Compatibility mode as well.
I think we have dealt with this issue in v2 and the solution should be quite simple. It's just a matter of porting it to v3.

- Patch breaks the editor in pages where there's no element with an id of "description".

Just to be sure, how about
element.tagName.toLowerCase() in CKEDITOR.dtd.head
Please always add back-ref comments to the ticket.

DTD approach seems to be more universal, attaching updated patch.

Let's inline DTD tag names for now, that would not change the footprint of ckeditor_basic.js
