If I strip out the wayback machine stuff (not necessary), and change the mozImageSmoothingEnabled to imageSmoothingEnabled as Firefox's developer console suggests, then it works in Chrome on Linux (although Firefox on Linux doesn't seem to do subpixel-position drawing to canvas).

I would expect the pixel-level details of drawing text to canvas to be both browser-specific and platform-specific. So the tool will show different things on different browser/platform combinations, because they do different things.
