#3 looks like the best option, but also the most complex to implement (given my
current knowledge of the code). Also, wouldn't changing the output of
DumpRenderTree break a lot of existing tests?

No, I already tried that, but the computed style only contains an ordered list
of font families as encountered by the CSS parser, no hint on which of them is
actually used.
The fact that webkit chooses to remember only one generic family instead of a
list of them is an implementation detail that's unknown to the CSS
specification.
