I don't know why there would be a difference between Safari and Chrome, but I did some testing of font sizing across as many browsers as I could a few months ago. I noticed that Safari tended to "round down" fractions of a percent. So theoretical (calculated) percents may produce the effect you notice. I found that rounding up any fraction of 1% to the next higher integer (or next .01em) to work well cross-browser. This may not be your issue, but hope it helps.
