IE9 reports 18px for both hidden and visible.
It is not a good idea at all to ask for the dimensions of a hidden element. The browser must completely reflow the document with the element visible and make you wait while it does. This is probably one of the worst performance things you could do.
Since the problem occurs only in Webkit and it's not a good idea anyway, I'll mark this patchwelcome.

Seems like this is a webkit issue. I'm seeing this in chrome and safari. Firefox shows correct height. I don't have a windows machine so can't see it in explorer.
