The old Marker wasn't displaying in the right position when you zoomed out -- no Icon.Offset was being set. (The code was copy pasted from before such a thing existed.) Change to the OpenLayers marker style, instead of some random image I grabbed off a website -- using the default icon means our offset is set right, so the markers end up in the right place.
