Actually, I think the problem is with the INPUT element.

Add the following to your test case to see what I mean:

   * { box-sizing: content-box ! important; 
       padding: 4px ! important;
       margin: 4px ! important;
       border: 4px ridge aqua ! important; 
       width: 200px ! important;
     }

(This uncovers a few others bugs: typing in the form elements does strange 
things to the widths of their parents, scroll bars and various parts of the 
form elements are happily taking the style from the universal selector, and
other fun stuff. I'll file those separately.)

So: The INPUT element is not respecting 'width' correctly.
