Right now we always detect a difference for styles other than "none", because the equality comparison between resolved and unresolved counter styles always says "not equal", the old struct always has a resolved style, and the new struct always has an unresolved one.

See bug 1371955 comment 4 and bug 1371955 comment 5.  As Cameron says, we should be able to do a readonly lookup for the case when we know we want to compare to an already-resolved style.  If the lookup returns nothing, we're not equal.
See my comment in bug 1371955 comment 11, basically I don't think we want to do comparison between resolve and unresolved counter styles.

OK, let's retitle to the real problem we want to solve.
Summary: stylo: Need to implement sane comparisons between resolved and unresolved counter styles in nsStyleList::CalcDifference → stylo: Need to implement sane comparisons between old and new counter styles
I can take this. I actually pretty much like my idea that we do the hashtable lookup during parallel traversal and only leave counter style unresolved when lookup doesn't find any existing item.

IIUC, this is causing spurious reflows after restyles, which can significantly hurt perf. P1.
Priority: -- → P1
This would work only with both bug 1372488 and bug 1372549 fixed, otherwise there could still be unnecessary reflows.
