It appears that while the rebinding and evaluation of properties

Yep, nasty one! As a clarification: 'some special treatment' means
'font-size is the very first attribute that is converted into a
Property'
Following the trail:
PropertyList.addAttributesToList()
-> PropertyList.convertAttributeToProperty()
-> PropertyMaker.make()
...
IOW, the relative 'em' is converted into an absolute 'mpt', and the
conversion is unconditionally based on FObj.findNearestAncestorFObj
(). Further on, the property is only stored as a Length (in
CommonFont), whose getValue() always returns the converted value in
'mpt'.
As to how to solve this... I'll need to investigate a bit further.
Maybe anyone else immediately sees it...?
