That's a very good point. 'currentColor' is defined to compute to
a color value. But what we need here (and in 'text-shadow', per
Estelle's comments) is a value that inherits as itself.

We didn't have this problem before because border-color is not an
inherited property, so its behavior wrt inheritance was not important.
