The element likely has a transform applied to it, making this a case of 467297.

This bug should stay separate, as it says precisely, "Elements should appear directly under pointer"

This is indeed a part of bug 467297 BUT the point is that bug 467297 is a deadlock; it couldn't be closed if somebody decided to fix some part of it (e.g. the part described in this bug). It asks for
ALL transforms to be preserved at the same time. That's too much. Even GoogleChrome doesn't do that.
// The same applies for (irrelevant) bug 455164.

I think it's wrong to use existance of 467297 as an excuse for this bug 1260220. All transforms should
be considered separately, but translates should be at the beginning of the list. That's my opinion.

Mass bug change to replace various 'parity' whiteboard flags with the new canonical keywords. (See bug 1443764 comment 13.)
