Lightbox2 works in D5 with IE 5.5. It seems that the version of jQuery in D6 does not support IE 5.5 (http://docs.jquery.com/Browser_Compatibility). It does have a list of known IE 5.5 issues at http://docs.jquery.com/Known_Issues but it doesn't seem to include this one - in the latest version of jquery, selectors based on tag name do not work in IE 5.5 e.g. $('a'). Perhaps log an issue against the jquery project to see if this can be resolved or at least documented. Running http://jquery.com/test/ in your browser will show you if that browser is supported or not (red lines are failed tests).

The long and the short of it is, if the version of jquery in Drupal doesn't support IE 5.5, then lightbox2 module doesn't either.

However, very few people use IE 5.5 and earlier, and those that do should be encouraged to upgrade. See the statistics at the following sites:
