I found the answer that remedied my frustrations regarding this on John Catterfeld's blog.

... Chrome (v20-30) implements almost all styles but with a major caveat – the placeholder styles do no resize the input box, so stay clear of things like line-height and padding top or bottom.

If you are using line-height or padding you are going to be frustrated with the resulting placeholder. I haven't found a way around that up to this point.
