The Zoom dropdown just applies an inline style="zoom: 500%;" to the <body> of the RadEditor's iframe based content area. You will experience the same browser behavior with a standard editable IFRAME and our competitors' editors.
This is a browser behavior and it cannot be controlled / fixed with code or CSS setting. The good news is that the IE browser developers has fixed it in the new Internet Explorer 9. The problem does not exist in Firefox as well.
