Maybe I should just not make the weaker part of the argument. I agree 
with you that horizontal scrolling is more of a perceivability than 
vertical scrolling because we read line by line horizontally - so much 
more scrolling required if the overlap is horizontal than if the overlap 
is vertical. I guess it just depends on where you draw the line on 
'sufficiently perceivable'.

Thanks for the comments, by the way!

Request comments on this as an alternative:

Replace
"text is resized without assistive technology up to 200
  percent in a way that does not require the user to scroll horizontally
  to read a line of text."

With
"text is resized without assistive technology up to 200
  percent in a way that does not cause characters to be partially or
  fully hidden or overlapped by other elements on the page"
