--- Comment #9 from Alex Chan <webkitbugzilla at alexwlchan.net> ---
In case it's helpful, I encountered a similar behaviour where a:hover fails to work if it's the same as a, and there's a rule for a:visited.  The rule for a:hover should override the a:visited, but it doesn't when it's the same as a plain a.

I suspect this has the same root cause as this bug.

This fails:

    <style>
    a         { color: green; }
    a:visited { color: red; }
    a:hover   { color: green; }
    </style>

This works:

    <style>
    a         { color: green; }
    a:visited { color: red; }
    a:hover   { color: blue; }
    </style>

This also works:

    <style>
    a         { color: green; }
    a:visited { color: red; }
    a:hover   { color: green; background: yellow; }
    </style>
