According to the Amazon Kindle Publishing Guide version 2012.3, page 11, section 3.1.7, and I quote:

To ensure pagination, the Kindle Reader does not honor line-height value less than 1.2 em or 120%.
"Works with" and "should not do" are not the same thing. The Fire might allow it but Amazon says don't use it. Read the manual! As I said earlier, Kindle Previewer will render a book even with errors as long as they are not catastrophic errors. That doesn't mean the book will display correctly.
