I've been fighting with my teeths the last two months because of weird yahoo cached page results.
Some of the sites I have been working with (Especially CSS Based) are showing
damaged Cached pages!
Horizoned navigation menus were shown as 1 big broken link in the cache versions.
I fixed that problem with breaking between the links with a character. 's did well.
But also other regular (<a href... links) are sometimes shown broken aswell!
showing cached with more anchor text than they should have, and the </a> is
visible!
Anyone experienced anything similiar? I hate to even THINK about the fact
that maybe yahoo actually see those sites that way when it crawls them.

Run the pages through http://validator.w3.org/detailed.html - you may have some code errors to fix.

I dont think its a validation problem.
It happend for validated and not validated sites.
In a validated site it even once showed a regular text link inside an article broken!
In the navigation menu, when two links are one after another in the source code, instead of showing </a><.. in the cached version, It shows: </a><
thus, breaking all the links, making it one big unreadable link.
Maybe I should also add the fact that they keep more than one cached version of the site.
if you search for the site's name or the site's main keyword, you get too different cachced results.
Is that normal?

Use a header checker like WebBug to make sure that the pages are served with the MIME type of: text/html.
What you describe can occur when the pages are served as text/plain. IE incorrectly compensates for that, but other browsers, and bots, often do not.

Checked that out.
WebBug shows the pages as text/html.
My line of code is:
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
