Are these issue from setting the zoom with text-only option being checked?  I 
see site layout being busted when zoom is set to text-only, but not when its 
unchecked.

I think this is part of the response to the issue that media queries for 
physical widths didn't really mean much, because all browsers previously 
pretended that the display was always 96DPI.  This made it 
difficult/impossible for media queries to distinguish between a 
1280x720px 20" monitor and a 1280x720px 4.5" mobile phone.  For some 
background:

There is a quite a lot of discussion about this on the Mozilla bug:

The relevant Chromium defect is here:

 From reading through the Mozilla and Chromium defects it seems that 
IE10 has already implemented a similar behaviour to Firefox.
