 Hi,

 I have created a ticket about exactly the same issue for the WP < 3.2 It
 was about having a widget position named 'Footer'. Because WordPress is
 taking the name of the position and using it as the ID of the holder div
 it lead to CSS conflicts resulting in bad styling. This actually got even
 worse for WP 3.2 In RC1 for 3.2 having a position named 'Footer' results
 in having holder to appear in the admin footer and Widget Position to look
 like it's not usable at all. I know it's a silly conflict but I think that
 this should be resolved at last as since version 3.2 it's going to be
 unusable. Using different names for positions is not a solution, because
 often position names are best reference of where the widgets are going to
 appear on the site - Footer position - widgets will appear in the Footer
 of the site.

 Thanks,
