The mixed editablity scenarios are very tricky and our support is definitely not complete.
Part of the reason is that there are many situations in which it is unclear what the right thing to do is.
Not much progress has been done in this area, since it has always been considered an uncommon scenario and the reason is that we have seen very few bugs in this area.
I believe WebKit handles fairly well documents containing editable and non editable portions, the problems appear when we nest them.
I don't know the scope of what you're trying to accomplish, but maybe you can consider an approach where you avoid nested editable/non-editable elements. I'll be happy to provide any guidance in this area.
