The fact that this worked before r23994 is just a coincidence. In fact, if you
try to cache the "target element" at MouseEventWithHitTestResults construction
time, you also get it wrong, because the text node is still in the document at
that point. It was really the gap between when the target element was cached
and when the target node was computed -- a gap during which the text node had
been removed from the tree -- that made it work prior to r23994.

While the old behavior is easy to reconstruct, the correct fix would be for the
placeholder text never to be returned from nodeAtPoint. The fact that
placeholder text is implemented using a text node should remain private to
RenderTextControl.
