Yeah, I had this problem too (it's also broken in Opera). Here's the fix:

misc/drupal.css

#autocomplete {
position: absolute;
border: 1px solid;
overflow: hidden;
z-index: 100; // make sure it appears above background
}

I don't think the patch completely fixed the problem. Applying the patch does allow users to see the autocomplete dropdown box as expected, but the "throbber" in the right-hand side of the input box is still not displayed.

These issues will be common when mising css from a theme with a contributed module. Especially with a theme that uses absolute and fixed position elements. There will always be an issue with the z-index attribute between the themes layers and the module.

I think the highest z-index in the theme is 100. Always check that a contributed module to see if has a stylesheet and if so make sure any z-index values are higher than that number.
