--- Comment #6 from Joe Pea <joe at trusktr.io> ---
Besides the discrepancy Jan pointed out, maybe this is actually a question of what the desired behavior is.

It would seem that for consistency, media query em values should be relative to the root font-size if it exists, otherwise not, just like `em` or `rem` values anywhere else. This would make the development experience consistent and easy to reason about.

It would also give us the power to choose: we want media query em/rem values to be relative to the browser's initial value (and therefore the browser user's specified font size)? Then we can simply not place font-size declaration on `html`. We want to have our own base value, we can put font-size on `html`. This flexibility would be ideal.
