There are certainly cases where a potential issue will arise, and I end up undoing the clearfix for any problematic divs. The CSS declarations I use are:

div:after {
    clear: both;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    display: table;
    font-size: 0;
    line-height: 0;
    content: ' ';
    visibility: hidden;
    overflow: hidden;
    }
div {
    *zoom: 1;
    }
