Update: It looks like these values are reporting viewport width and height at the time of tab creation and are not updated on rotation.

According to the SO item in the other thread:
"This is a detector of how many tabs are open. On my iPad 3 it reports different values when I have more than one tap open, matching the reports on the screen captures. The iPad mini screen capture has two tabs open, while the iPad 2 capture has only one. My iPad 3 reports matching values when I have one or two tabs open. – Mr. Berna 12 mins ago"

I don't think it works.

Question / concern here is why is it reporting this differently when in theory they should be the same?
It feels like something that might be "fixed" in a future release.
Unless anyone knows of a specific reason why this should be the case?

Sounds like it might be reserving space for the top status bar in a different orientation.
Either this is a weird device specific bug or perhaps the author of the post launched Safari in a different orientation on one of the devices and then rotated (and Safari cached a different "screen" size).
This is complete speculation and I don't have a device next to me to test, but the 20px difference suggests that it's referring to the black status bar at the top.
Edit: looks like it might be related to tabs: http://stackoverflow.com/a/13380055/552710

Just tried it on my iPad 2 and (in portrait) got 1004x768.
I couldn't get it to change with the number of tabs open.
