Does IE 8 have a limit on number of stylesheets per page?

Question

In an answer about CSS, a user said:

Internet Explorer has is said to have a limit of 4096 CSS rules per file. Reference

Answer 1

Yes, IE8 (and even IE9 apparently) limit the number of style sheets to 31 per page.

Telerik has an article and test page which demonstrate the issue. According to comments in the same article, the 4096 rules per file limitation has been marked as Won't Fix in Microsoft Connect but I've been unable to verify that.
