Although the INSTALL document recommends the inclusion of "text/css" in Lighty's compress.filetype array, removing "text/css" (i.e. not compressing css) restores normal UI behavior. I am not entirely satisfied with this, but it is a sufficient workaround for now.
Good work. Okay, so the problem would seem to be in the compression or decompression. Might it be a issue in lighthttpd?
You're missing just perhaps one more step in your excellent root-cause analysis.
Namely, google for "lighthttpd broken compression".
First hit:
"Lighthttpd - css files broken if mod_compress enabled on lighttpd 1.4.26"
