test case

As per the last step of http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#autofocusing-a-form-control autofocus should queue a task. In WebKit it fires synchronously. Firefox correctly fires it async. We should do the same. Sync events that fire on DOM mutations are bad!

I didn't test IE/Opera, but it seems pretty clear we should change to match the spec here.
