As you can see from the article if you read it again, the post is merely demonstrating the difficulty of keeping a website consistent through different browsers, and the importance of getting it right. While cross browser issues can most definitely affect website usability it was not the prime message in this post. Hey stewiemac, thanks very much for your reply.

It's merely a basic technical issue. Also, something not functioning as it was intended (such as your menubar example) can create a usability issue, but the opposite does not necessarily add to user experience. It might just mean that you have functioning bad design, as opposed to non-functioning bad design. Ooops, one more... Building a website that "looks great" is not necessarily Usability either, although it can disguise poor Usability (particularly to clients) quite well.
