Why are you using two sepertly positioned <div> elements here? If the user
have a large font size some of the content will be obscured. One <div>
containing all the relevent content will do.

p class="info"
ul style="list-style-type:disc"

Lists can not form part of paragraphs.

Which means that above code should work same as this:
<p class="info">
</p><ul style="list-style-type:disc">

That should be rendered exactly same as:
<ul style="list-style-type:disc">

http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/appendix/...es-line-breaks

line break immediately following a start tag must be ignored

http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/intro/sgm...#idx-element-8

start tag is closed by the following block element

http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/text.html#edef-P

User agents should ignore empty P elements.

Is there any browser that gets it right?

Code in orginal post had space after <p class="info">, so it should be
rendered as
<p class="info"> </p><ul style="list-style-type:disc">

OP, if there some reason why it is not possible to have
ul { border:1px solid grey; background:#E0E0E0; padding:4px;}
use div instead of P.
