Details

Although the MathML defines stretchy and largeop operators separately, they share a common implementation in gecko. A consequence of this is that as the minimum size of largeops is defined as a height, the operator dictionary must specify a vertical direction for them. This breaks down when the user is permitted to override the dictionary properties as the largeop property can then be applied to other directions. https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/3e51753a099f/layout/mathml/nsMathMLmoFrame.cpp#l455 Should that code be modified to prevent the user from specifying stretchy properties that do not make sense?
