This is sorta a dupe of bug 6350 and bug 17697, certainly fixing this more
general bug would fix both of those.

Basically Selection::validate() is flawed, at least from the DOM's perspective.
 JS should be able to set the selection to anything and get it back w/o having
it be mutated in the process.  The Editing code wants to be able to get at the
"validated" selection.  We may just want to store things double, not sure yet.
