I'm trying to understand what's going on here. One thing that strikes me as odd is that PropertyList.convertAttributeToProperty() always contructs Properties based on the parentFO. Normally, this is probably ok since most calculation bases are the parent FOs but in the case of content-width/height it's the context FO itself that provides the base (the intrinsic image size).
I've rewritten my latest addition so it goes over a getLayoutDimension() call but left the rest as is for the moment (still uses the property list). I'll try to have another shot at it later.
