In the first screenshot, it looks like we should be showing an message above the input with an inverted arrow (bug 737922), but that's obviously not working, and the popup isn't even in the correct place. There also isn't enough room for the popup below the input in the second screenshot, so some positioning logic is also going wrong there.

Sriram, do you remember seeing any similar problems when working on bug 737922?

I also wonder if bug 748469 would also help with preventing positioning math errors.

The problem from bug 737922 is fixed as you can see in the screenshot, I think that here all depends on the page position and the zoom level.
