I'm not sure that range.deleteContents() should modify the selection at all.

As you can see by this test:
<body>
<div id="test" contentEditable>a<span id="bspan">b</span>c</div>
<script>
var testDiv = document.getElementById("test");
var bspan = document.getElementById("bspan");
var sel = window.getSelection();
sel.selectAllChildren(testDiv);
bspan.parentNode.removeChild(bspan);
</script>
b was removed dynamically, but "ac" is still selected.
</body>

I don't think this is actually a bug, except in that our selection API is
different from mozilla's (and thus confusing).  We need to fix our selection
API, but "tied ranges" I don't think are the answer.
