Adding comments from IRC chat with dhyatt: 

[14:40] <dhyatt> Percentage intrinsic heights are evaluated with respect to the containing block's height, if that height is specified explicitly, or if the replaced element is absolutely positioned.

[14:40] <dhyatt> If neither of these conditions is met, then percentage values on such replaced elements cannot be resolved and such elements are assumed to have no intrinsic height.

[14:41] <plafayette> what happens if they have no intrinsic height?

[14:42] <dhyatt> "Specifies a percentage height. The percentage is calculated with respect to the height of the generated box's http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#containing-block. If the height of the containing block is not specified explicitly (i.e., it depends on content height), and this element is not absolutely positioned, the value computes to 'auto'"

[14:42] <dhyatt> so the image's height for sure should go to auto 

...

[14:46] <plafayette> dhyatt: what do you think the proper solution is?

[14:46] <dhyatt> well it must be some bug with the percentheightdescendant stuff 

...

[14:53] <dhyatt> plafayette: anyway just a guess but i would imagine that something is going wrong with the propagation of percent height descendant tracking because of that <div> with auto height

[14:54] <dhyatt> it may be related to the fact that our strict mode rendering is wrong 

[14:57] <dhyatt> looks like replaced elements not adding themselves to the percentheightdescendant thing

[14:57] <dhyatt> maybe mitz would know why

[14:57] <dhyatt> they're also not respecting quirks vs. strict stuff

[14:57] <dhyatt> like calcPercentageHeight is

[14:57] <dhyatt> so the bugs all appear to be in RenderBox::calcReplacedHeightUsing (the percentage case)

[14:57] <dhyatt> i think it needs to match calcPercentageHEight a bit more closely

[14:59] <dhyatt> firefox gets this all right in quirks and strict mode

[14:59] <dhyatt> so good to compare against
