This problem doesn't only occur for empty text nodes - even if the node is not
empty, selection position is adjusted to start before its container.

I think I have a workaround that might work. It involves zero-width space:
                [<b>&#x200b;</b>]
...
        range.setStart( el.firstChild, 1 ) ;
        range.setEnd( el.firstChild, 1 ) ;

This positions the insertion point after the invisible space, and inside the
text child node.

Obviously, the space needs to be removed when the user starts typing, or clicks
somewhere else - otherwise, arrow navigation will not work incorrectly,
stopping at this position twice.

Please let us know if this works for you.
