Hi David--

It appears to be connected to your font-variant:small-caps declaration.
If I had to guess, I would suppose Windows doesn't have a way to
translate the non-breaking space into some lower-case/lower-height
version of itself, so it doesn't translate the space into anything, but
leaves it the same height as a font-variant:normal character.

This obviously pushes the height of the box to make room for the
"taller" character.

I couldn't find a work-around beyond specifying the line-height in
pixels as you'd done.

Hope it helps.
