What about simply a "Browser compatibility issues" page in the themes handbook that gets linked from wherever seems logical.

I like this idea. Either a list of good references so we don't reinvent the wheel, or if none exist our own collection of known problems.
I don't think this is the right way to go about it. We aren't in the business of teaching how to write html, or even providing links to resources to do so.
But it strikes me that a theme troubleshooting FAQ might be useful. Something like http://drupal.org/node/199 With the format:
Symptom: Possible causes: Solutions:
And as you say, linking to external resources where possible.
That would work fine. Again, the point is while that we shouldn't be in the business of teaching HTML/CSS, many people will look to Drupal first when their Drupal themes misbehave. We should have something for them to find, even if it's mostly a road sign saying "blame IE, see here for more details". :-)
