I think this bug has more to do with the racing in loading of scripts. According to the code in http://sj.wsj.net/djscript/bucket/NA_WSJ/page/0_0_WH_0001_public/provided/j_global_slim/version/20110419230428.js:

1) focus event triggers loading of http://s.wsj.net/djscript/j_networkHat-201134.js
2) when the script is loaded, a function "searchFieldOnFocus" from this script is called
3) the function clears the value of the input.

Since I can't reproduce the bug in Chromium or WebKit nightly, I can't tell exactly where this chain breaks down, but it's definitely not the r84039.
