The spec has indeed changed:
http://dev.w3.org/csswg/cssom/#resolved-value
http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-values/#computed-value

This shows that disconnected nodes should still resolve to computed values for disconnected nodes, with the computed value defined as: "the result of resolving the specified value insofar as possible without formatting the document, as defined in the "Computed value" line of the property definition tables."

Indeed, Firefox resolves this correctly now, but alas IE9 and Opera do this incorrectly according to the spec.

FWIW, It's also reared its head as a bug reported in jQuery: http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/9338
