Currently CSSOM Views doesn't say whether getBoundingClientRect should
include the effect of transforms, so technically you're depending on
unspecified behavior. Gecko only very recently changed to match IE and
Webkit by including the effect of transforms. Whoever's editing CSSOM Views
should fix this by tightening that spec. Maybe it has no editor and you
should do that :-).
