When panning vertically slowly, for example while reading an article, the text seems to rapidly jump up and down.

It does not jump up and down a lot. Probably just 1 or 2 pixels. But the effect is bad enough to make me a little seasick :-/

I'm not sure if this is a rendering or gesture issue. It does seem to depend on the zoom level.
Where do async pan and zoom bugs live? I think this is a dupe.

I can reproduce this reliably in the browser on a 2012-12-21 07:02:01 build (nightly).  I was browsing this site:  http://wp.me/p1jETZ-dH on my unagi.  Dragging my finger slowly upwards to scroll the page gives the rapid up-and-down motion of the text.

This isn't the "dancing text" symptom; the text snapping stays consistent.  Rather, this looks like an offset computation in APZC going wrong.
Is bug 824702 a dupe of this?

(And FWIW I can still reproduce this on a 2012-12-30 build on Unagi)

While the symptoms are the same, they're not exactly the same so I don't think they're dupes.

We discussed this again at triage today and while we'd *love* to see a patch for this, we decided we can't block on it.

Josh, given our out-of-band communication, would you recommend holding the release for this bug?

Nope. That specifically pertained to the behaviour seen when two-finger scrolling, and is a nice-to-fix.

Fix single pixel jitter on fling

This seems to fix the problem but I haven't investigated why this rounding change is necessary.

Very safe patch that improves browser panning.  We'd like to take this for another reason too; ping me or Josh for details.
