Is there a bug for the font-variant shorthand? The test still fails on css3test.com though all longhand features seem to be implemented.

There isn't a bug currently. Hooking up the shorthand to the font-variant-xxx subproperties needs to wait until the spec is in PR I think. At a minimum the fallback behavior for small-caps needs to be implemented so that existing use of font-variant: small-caps does not rely on the existence of small-cap variants. Put in other words, all browsers currently "fallback" when 'small-caps' is specified. The 'font-variant-caps' property currently only enables the OpenType small-caps feature, it doesn't implement the fallback to synthetic small-caps for fonts that lack small caps alternates.

Bug 747849 is the beginning of this work.
