With IE7 adding a point on the map with the editing toolbar results in the added point being
shown with an horizontal offset.

The OpenLayers example [1] works fine so must have to do with the stylesheet used by drupal.
IE8 works fine.

As pointed to from strk, there is this ticket (with little to no information) in OpenLayers: http://trac.openlayers.org/ticket/2080 It doesn't really help much at all. :(

Title: IE7 vector editing offset » CSS causes vector editing offset in IE7

So, this was discussed in http://drupal.org/node/717624

Note that it is caused by specific styles in the Garland theme. What needs to happen:

1) Define what is the actual cause. Meaning what sort of style causes this.
2) Document this in an obvious place.
3) Try to provide a fix by overriding CSS with module. This is dependent on #1

This is not critical. It's nearly out of scope for the module, being a problem between a theme and an external library and a bad browser.

I had this issue and it drove me crazy-pants for a number of days. Here's what I found:

Make sure your doctype is correct. I used: 

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="<?php print $language->language; ?>" lang="<?php print $language->language; ?>" dir="<?php print $language->dir; ?>">

DO NOT include the following line:
xmlns:olv="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"

DO NOT include the following line in your code:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />
I'm not sure where we found this, but it just breaks things.

Remember to either compress your css or have less than 31 css files.
