I get one pixel extra on the menu list... with my minimum font-size set - 90% of 'small' falls below the threshold. It is pretty dangerous to make any construction like that dependent on the font-size. Your best bet is having the green background grow or shrink dependent on the computed height of the menu list. Even assuming that the user doesn't change the font-size, you'd still have to struggle with rounding problems: the always present question: how/where to round off 0.1px to hook to the screen pixels.
