This is particularly unfortunate since one of the strengths of view units is the ability to set variable font size.

Now. I'm not totally sure this is a bug in Webkit since unfortunately Internet Explorer 10 does the exact same thing.

It might be in the spec that way.
But, what you'd think *could* be done, would be that even if resizing the font continuously would be a performance issue, surely you could at least avoid the need for a manual refresh by the user by simply queuing a request to do this recalc maybe 500ms after any window resize.  That way while the window was being resized, it wouldn't trigger 'cause it'd continually be pushed back.  But as soon as it was done resizing, we'd get a nicely sized font.
