I've had occasional issues when using em as the unit has caused issues with inheritance where the inherited line height seems to be applied as if the font size did not change. Personally, I think this is the result of poor programming but its led me to avoid the use of any units in line-height statements.

edit: Just read tshering's comment and it fits with what I've seen.
