This Hampton Inn site is not responsive but provides an example of when you zoom in and scrollbars appear text is pushed off to the right. When you scroll over to read the text the white text in the banner links can't be read because it no longer appears on a blue background but on a white background. In this case the container is a fixed width. I haven't diagnosed specifically what is happening but I'd imagine that this could happen to a responsive site that was not truly fluid. A responsive site can simply be a set of breakpoints on fixed width elements.

I haven't reviewed the site for accessibility -- but just happened to see this particular issue and the issue seemed relevant to the discussion.
