I'm seeing it on Eee Linux, which lacks a number of 'web-safe' fonts, and if it did have them it would have no idea how to properly display them. I think we rightly fall in edge cases not worth supporting, alongside IE6 ( http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/index.php?browser=ie6&url=37signals.com http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/index.php?browser=ie6&url... and http://37signals.blogs.com/products/2008/07/basecamp-phasin.html http://37signals.blogs.com/products/2008/07/basecamp-phasin.... ).
It wouldn't be a ton of trouble to make the text bubbles expand to fit the text (one more div and splitting the background images, I suspect but won't confirm). But their goal was, I assume, to have a well-aligned, eye-catching 2x2 grid, and they chose not to support rare-ish cases where that wouldn't be what was rendered rather than cluttering their markup.
