OK, knowing how it is broken would be helpful. For example: for just
width/height?

What else gives the relative distance to the nearest positioned
parent?

Both. <svg:svg> also says it is 40px. Changing its width from 50px to
150px makes a clear difference if you have text around it, as viewed
in the content. But getBoundingClientRect still returns 40px for the
width.

MathML has a similar issue with its top most element and
getBoundingClientRect. All the ones inside look fine.
