If you run IE8 in Compatibility View (Tools->Compatibility View), the sign_in dialog says:

"""We're sorry, but currently your browser isn't supported.
BrowserID works with Firefox and other modern browsers."""

So yeah that's true. Not in compatibility mode, but that message could perhaps check for this mode on IE8 and let the user know that in this case, they can use IE8 if they switch out of Compatibility View.
