Euro symbol showing as serif font in IE7 when using bold Arial

It appears that IE 7 will completely ignore the font declaration for the Euro symbol if it is bold Arial. In fact, it shows as a serif font instead of a sans-serif font.
Take this quick test harness:
In any other browser (IE 6, Fx, Safari, etc), all the text is in Arial (yes - the font is installed). However, in IE 7 only, the bold Euro symbol is displaying in a sans-serif font.Code Snippet<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Euro Test</title>
<style type="text/css">
p {
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 300%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>That will be €100.</p>
<p><b>That will be €100.</b></p>

I cannot find any reference to this bug online, so was wondering if this was a known issue.
If it is known, can anyone point me to any references? If it's not known, can anyone point me to where I should submit a bug report?
Thanks!
