[jQuery] IE8 problems with fadein/fadeout


I have a problem with a simple animation. Maybe there's something I
don't understand as it's the first website I'm writing with
jquery1.3.2 ...
This is the skeleton of what I'm working (I removed all the
unnecessary code I could remove without changing the logic and the
website structure - that's why it looks so weird):

In IE8 there is no crossfade, the first image will show and then hide
at the end of the animation, as if it ignores opacity changes.
It works on IE7 (the real one AND ie8 in ie7, which makes it really
weird!), FF3.5, Opera, Chrome and Safari, I tried it in xp and vista.
