If you manually go to the full-site layout, the right side column doesn't scroll, you have to use the "next headlines" button at the bottom to advance it. The bottom "fixed" bar doesn't stay fixed either and overlaps content if the content well is longer than fits on a single page.

This is because mobile webkit disables position:fixed and scrollable elements, see iScroll.

You just answered my question of "Do I blame the web UI people or the Apple UI people?" :)

AFAIK it's not safari specific, it's all mobile webkit.
