 From http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visudet.html#line-height last paragraph:

   The baseline of an 'inline-block' is the baseline of its last line
   box in the normal flow, unless it has either no in-flow line boxes or
   if its 'overflow' property has a computed value other than 'visible',
   in which case the baseline is the bottom margin edge.

The fact that WebKit does not do that is a longstanding issue in WebKit.
