I also see such variations due to my use of fonts instead of colors
for font-lock highlighting: I use different fonts for the keyword-face
and the doc-face.  I try to choose them such that they take up exactly
the same number of pixels as my default font, but it's a pretty
delicate/brittle business.

So I agree it's a case we should try and handle "correctly".
