Firefox nightly (tested "20.0a1 (2012-11-29)" on Linux) fails even the  
first sub-test ("none repeat scroll 0% 0% / auto content-box  
padding-box"), which indicates that it still behaves the same way as  
version 17 (which I commented about in the IRC channel during the meeting).

So, none of these browsers follow the current spec. Spec says (for the  
final layer, which is being tested here)

<bg-image> || <position> [ / <bg-size> ]? || <repeat-style> ||  
<attachment> || <box>{1,2} || <'background-color'>

Presumably, IE/Opera/WebKit all do

<bg-image> || <position> [ / <bg-size> ]? || <repeat-style> ||  
<attachment> || <box> || <box> || <'background-color'>

instead, while Firefox only recognizes

<bg-image> || <position> [ / <bg-size> ]? || <repeat-style> ||  
<attachment> || <box> || <'background-color'>
