The Fine Manual says (on grob property thickness):

Oops.  I deserved that.  :(

Some further digging reveals that all thicknesses are supposed to be measured in line-thickness, while distances are measured in staff-spaces. This is however not true for all properties yet; e.g., the thickness of beams is
measured in staff-spaces.

OK, thanks.  Added to the docs.
