This is a coincidental side-effect of the fact that Firefox and IE convert
these objects to unique strings.

Generally, JavaScript does not support using an object as a key. It uses
strings as keys.

The following fails in the same way in Firefox, even though each key is a
distinct object:

typeMap[new Object] = "n";
typeMap[new Object] = "b";
typeMap[new Object] = "s";
typeMap[new Object] = "d";
typeMap[new Object] = "a";
typeMap[new Object] = "m";
