Perhaps you've disabled your screen resolution tracking (screen.width / screen.height).

To calculate the DPI it uses the screen resolution (pixels) and your reported screen size (inches), if either is missing it would fail to work (for now).

Safari might not report it, because I haven't changed anything (I wouldn't even know where to change that in Safari). I checked in FireFox and it was much closer to reality.

Update: Safari does report it, so it looks to be another issue. Perhaps a bug in the scaling for Safari?

Yes, perhaps it is a bug in Safari. Thanks for the report.

Edit - It might be the way Safari handles onload - https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13241
