I've tried to reproduce the problem you describe:

In IE8, if you resize your viewport to say half the height of your screen and then refresh the page, it looks good. But when you then drag the bottom of your window down so the viewport gets higher, the footer doesn't stick to the bottom.

But, I cannot get it to do that (and I tried as tall as I can make it on my 1920x1200px screen).

Did you use the last code segment in the original post?

In order to fix this, you have to add height: 100%; to the body tag.

The min-height on the body takes care of it in this example. It changes if you use an additional wrapper, but in this case the min-height seems to work just fine in IE8 (even if you toggle it back to IE7). It's only IE6 that doesn't know what min-height is.
