If compatibility view fixed it, you're apt to have it happen with other sites, you just have not discovered them yet. Older versions of IE were notorious for "fixing" broken html, which was a crapshoot because they were making assumptions about what the web designer intended. The latest IE versions are apparently trying to atone for that by breaking pages that comply with earlier versions of standards instead of the current ones.
But this particular instance probably involved NICO's use of html img tags inside javascript textarea declarations, which is legal but known for unpredictable results on scroll, etc.
You've probably just enabled compatibility view for nicoclub.com using the address bar thingy. If you start encountering this on other sites and want to fix it across the board, there's a place in the options where you can toggle it on for all sites.
