I used to think this was true but I've come to doubt it. Firefox's
full-zoom feature almost always leads to dev-pixels-per-px being
non-integer and it seems to cause few problems. Lately we've enabled
non-integer ratios by default for Windows (7 and Metro) with high-dpi
screens and we still seem to be having few problems. I think this is true
for Firefox on Android as well, and we're in the process of configuring
FirefoxOS for high-dpi mobile devices with non-integer devicePixelRatio.
