nsSpacerFrame, used to implement HTML spacer elements, doesn't handle many types of values for CSS 'width' and 'height' properties, and also doesn't handle min-width and max-width.  See the XXX comments I'm adding to nsSpacerFrame as part of bug 311415.

(Not sure if spacer really needs its own frame class.  It could perhaps be block / inline-block depending on type.)
It also doesn't use the correct basis for percentage widths and heights.
(And, in fact, for percentage heights, it does math on NS_UNCONSTRAINEDSIZE.)
Though the simplest fix here is probably to just use mComputedWidth / mComputedHeight when applicable.

Even simpler than that would be to remove the support for this element (bug 531030)!
spacer is dead.
