A skew applied to a path causes the getBoundingClientRect function giving incorrect results. A skewX results in bigger width reported while a skewY results in bigger height reported.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
apply a skewTransform to a path
call getBoundingClientRect

Actual Results:  
 A skewX results in bigger width reported while a skewY results in bigger height reported.

Expected Results:  
A correct value

Can you produce a simpler testcase please?

One that does not involve dynamically adding SVG data from an XMLHTTPRequest since I can't run that locally.
That uses a rect rather than a star as that way it is much easier to see what the bounding box should be if I trace through the code.

So ideally just a couple of rect obejects one with a skew transform, the other the getBoundingClientRect of the first set onload.

The actual sample
http://go2ghana.net/devel/svg/skewPath.svg points to a single svg
where the skwew is set by script 
runs well locally
but with rect makes no sense cos there all works fine:
