Test case

The following selector is not matched as it should:
 div.a:hover + div.b + div.c {background-color: yellow;}
EXPECTED: when the mouse is dragged over the div.a element, div.c background should change from white to yellow
OBSERVED: when the mouse is dragged over the div.a element, nothing happens

if the :hover pseudo-class, the selector is now:
 div.a + div.b + div.c {background-color: yellow;}
EXPECTED: div.c background is yellow
OBSERVED: div.c background is yellow

I have tested this whith several pseudo-classes: 
 :hover with DIV and A 
 :active and :focus with A
 :checked with input[type=radio]

WebKit nightly build (2010/09/01) always shows the wrong behaviour, ignoring the adjacent sibling selector sequence
Firefox 3.6.8 and Chromium 5 display the XHTML/CSS as expected by the W3C CSS specs

Bump.

I've tried[1] with 17.0.963.83 m and 19.0.1080.0 canary.

The animation hack[2] works, but it make screen blink in some cases.

The CSS hack 

     body { -webkit-animation: bugfix infinite 1s; }
     @-webkit-keyframes bugfix { from { padding: 0; } to { padding: 0; } }

applies like an issue on Chrome 18.0.1025.162 m, but doe not work on Chrome 20.0.1112.0 canary.

It is still not fixed on Chrome 21.0.1139.2 canary and works fine on Firefox 12.0

[Frederik]

still not fixed in Version 26.0.1410.63

here's some minimal code to try:

<style>.a:checked + .b{background:yellow;}</style>
<input type="checkbox" class="a"><span class="b">b</span>

The CSS hack

    html {
        -webkit-animation: issueSelector infinite 1s;
    }
    @-webkit-keyframes issueSelector {
        0% {
            display: block;
        }
        100% {
            display: block;
        }
    }

cases Android filckers, since it enables GPU acceleration by repainting html.
