Right, I somehow didn't think about this correctly, totally missing
the fact that the correct behavior requires doing layout in order to
compute the preferred width.

On behalf of Blink, I want to object to requiring any behavior that
requires layout in order to calculate the preferred width of a
container. So, I guess there's no good solution here :(
