I believe they don't because the '100' gets consumed as a valid
value of font-weight (since the shorthand parser assumes there's no
ambiguity to be handled between font-weight and font-size), and then
the shorthand is syntactically invalid because it doesn't have a
font-size.  I don't see any reason to "fix" that.
