This still easily repros on iOS 8.1.3 (12B466).  Follow the exact repro steps above, or go to this trivial fiddle:  http://jsfiddle.net/vhy8h78q/ .  This is causing some pain in our product; a fix would be most appreciated.

Regression:  Meant to mention that this is Safari (on iOS 8.1.3 as stated).  Safari on iOS7 (7.0.4) doesn't have this problem, so it is a regression.  

FWIW, Chrome 33.0.1750.517 on Android 4.4.2 also works fine (lacks this problem).

Note that this still repros on iOS 8.2 (12D508), in Safari.  

I also filed Apple bug 20228697, referencing this WebKit bug, requesting that the fix be picked up in the released product.  Per Apple custom, that bug is not publicly visible / linkable.
