--- Comment #5 from Anne van Kesteren <annevk at annevk.nl> ---
It's defined in https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#the-input-element-as-a-text-entry-widget:

> If an input element whose type attribute is in one of the above states has a size attribute, and parsing that attribute's value using the rules for parsing non-negative integers doesn't generate an error, then the user agent is expected to use the attribute as a presentational hint for the 'width' property on the element, with the value obtained from applying the converting a character width to pixels algorithm to the value of the attribute.

Which ends up calling:

> The converting a character width to pixels algorithm returns (size-1)×avg + max, where size is the character width to convert, avg is the average character width of the primary font for the element for which the algorithm is being run, in pixels, and max is the maximum character width of that same font, also in pixels. (The element's 'letter-spacing' property does not affect the result.)

Which suggests you get _max_ for the test case in question.
