In Firefox at least, we've already got a bug on this:
  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=972595

We use the items' "width" property, when computing the intrinsic size of
the flex container -- but we should instead be looking at their
'flex-basis'.  (Or really, we should be following the recently-added
flex-grow-and-shrink-dependent flex-container intrinsic sizing spec-text
at http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-flexbox-1/#intrinsic-sizes.)
