SVG text kerning fails on Windows when scaled up with scale3d()

Reported by mike.arv...@futurice.com, Mar 24 2017 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_3) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/57.0.2987.110 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Using Chrome on Windows, open the attached test file (also at http://output.jsbin.com/pagejejigi/1)
2. Observe the red text on the page

What is the expected behavior?
Four legible rows of text appear.

What went wrong?
On Chrome 57 on Windows, the letters are stacked on top of each other  and are not legible.

Did this work before? No 

Does this work in other browsers? Yes

Chrome version: 57.0.2987.110  Channel: stable
OS Version: Windows 10 Pro Build 14393.0
Flash Version: 

Works on Chrome 57 on macOS, as well as on Firefox on both Windows and macOS.

Adding screenshot of the same issue on macOS, where it displays without problems.

Issue #670672 looks similar, but I'm not sure if it's exactly same: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=670672

Windows only, whereas 670672 also applies to linux, it seems.

This seems pretty serious. We'll try to find out what started it.

Possibly https://codereview.chromium.org/2492013004 (and follow-ups) combined with font-size cludge for Windows (i.e font-size < 1 rounded to 1 or some such.)
