OK.  Less curious now! :)

In general, asking a renderer-related question like isFocusable() needs finished layout indeed - e.g. display:none makes a node unfocusable, but before layout (recalcStyle?), the renderer doesn't know that.

Yes, that makes sense.  This has something to do with the inline flow.
 The whole
problem goes away if you change the display property of the anchor to block.

All the children are marked as not needing layout but the parent (the
anchor) has
m_normalChildNeedsLayout set to true.  If you remove the MathML math element,
everything works as expected.
