Created an attachment (id=15920)
 --> (http://bugs.webkit.org/attachment.cgi?id=15920&action=view)
Webkit's rendering width at 610px of the initial attachment.

This is Webkit's version of rendering text. Notice compared to my Gecko image
of your attachment that Webkit adds width in addition to making the text bold.
The text is cropped in this image. The same thing will/does happen in similar
situations with text and parent elements depending on word-wrap.

This is a valid bug. Not only is the text bold but Webkit also adds width to
the text. It is not possible to adjust the text by using a single CSS method
that Webkit would adhere to. It is obvious that people are having difficulty
understanding the difference between bold and normal text. Let me repeat
myself: having this by default is acceptable; not making normal text weight
available is not. Keep your personal feelings out of bug reports, designers
have to answer to people who are asking us, "why is my text bold in Safari?"
without us being able to remedy the issue correctly.
