Semi transparent polygons in google maps are rendered as solid white in IE7 and IE8 - only when modernizr is included.

In IE7 or IE8, compare these two pages (example from google maps api documentation).

I have no idea how to even start looking into this. What are google map polygons anyway... SVG perhaps?
