What is the expected behavior?
The middle aligned container should line up with the text line then the top/bottom containers should line up to that.

What went wrong?
The current implementation seems to pick random alignment rules.  I can't tell intuitively what is going on with the webkit implementation.  It appears as though the text is picking some kind of ratio placement.  I think Gecko nailed the proper alignment with this by aligning the text specific alignment before the top/bottom.  Webkit seems to have an OoO issue here and depending on what rule is applied first it changes the alignment.

Examples on Gecko:
