Safari misplaces the tooltip that should be attached to the embedded XHTML element

Given a page with an SVG element with XHTML content embedded via <foreignObject/>, the getBoundingClientRect() method returns sizes that don't match the parent page viewport on zooming with Cmd +/-. It breaks the positioning of the elements next to the target element using the getBoundingClientRect(), which is essential for the various tooltips or outlines.
Instead, the getBoundingClientRect() should return the same values as if the element is not being embedded into the <foreignObject/>. That would match the behavior of Chrome and Firefox.

I was able to replicate the bugged behavior with additional logs in the sandbox - https://stackblitz.com/edit/stackblitz-starters-jh33b2?file=src%2FApp.tsx. Open it in Safari and try zooming the page with Cmd +/-. You'll see that the teal block will get misplaced. However, in Chrome or Firefox, the teal block will always be displayed right underneath the target orange XHTML block.

Here's the comparison table of the tooltip position values I get in Chrome and Safari for the XHTML block:
| Zoom level | Safari                               | Chrome                               |
|------------|--------------------------------------|--------------------------------------|
| -2         | { top: '45px', left: '0px' }         | { top: '60px', left: '0px' }         |
| -1         | { top: '51px', left: '0px' }         | { top: '60px', left: '0px' }         |
| 0          | { top: '60px', left: '0px' }         | { top: '60px', left: '0px' }         |
| 1          | { top: '69px', left: '0px' }         | { top: '60px', left: '0px' }         |
| 2          | { top: '75px', left: '0px' }         | { top: '60px', left: '0px' }         |
| 3          | { top: '90px', left: '0px' }         | { top: '60px', left: '0px' }         |


Meanwhile, such misplacement doesn't happen if I'm using getBoundingClientRect() on the plain <div/> located within a body of the page - https://stackblitz.com/edit/stackblitz-starters-lnhzg3?file=src%2FApp.tsx. The `top` and the `left` properties stay the same on an arbitrary zoom level.
