I've just done some investigation and found out that these lines of code were introduced along with SVN revision 55623 (http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/55623), where a new layout test was also added: http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/55623

I've executed that test after completely removing those lines and still succeeds, as well as the rest of the non-skipped a11y tests, hence I think perhaps that code is no longer needed so it could be safely removed.

Expect a patch in a while, then...
