Note that Chrome on Android has a "force enable zoom" setting in Accessibility panel while Opera for Android (which uses Blink engine, same as Chrome) has reflow-on-zoom support (called "text wrap" in settings). On Windows Phone there is a system-level setting "ease of access > allow zooming on all web content". This basically solves the issue for me. I browse almost exclusively using Opera.

For curious souls, Chrome on Android sometimes supports reflow out of the box, depending on vendor. Apparently vendors like to set different flags in browsers to differentiate themselves from each other. HTC is one of those who ships Chrome with reflow on zoom enabled. It is a bit battery draining to recalculate stuff each time a user zooms hence it's not enabled by default. *(according to research from Peter Paul Koch from his Mobile web handbook)
