Yes, the MathML system should honor that value.  The problem is that you
picked a value that looks good for Firefox.  It may not necessarily look
good for other renders because different fonts and slightly different layout
rules maybe be used.  The value you used will scale with font size, but
because different fonts may have use characters of different sizes (ie, the
uparrow may be relatively smaller or larger compared to other chars in the
font), the results may not be as good in other renderers.

Unfortunately, I don't know another workaround to the firefox bug.
