Comment:

 No, this seems to be Firefox spellchecker/iframe/contentEditable bug that
 has been around for a long time (since FF 1.5 I think). It's intermittent
 and hard to build test case for.

 Did quite a bit of testing some time ago trying to determine what triggers
 it but couldn't pinpoint it exactly. Seems to be affected by some specific
 css and/or js dom manipulations but not consistently. Seen something
 similar happen in some versions of Thunderbird too although the cause may
 be unrelated.

 The spellchecker in WebKit browsers seems to work properly.

 +1 to closing this as invalid. If someone comes up with a workaround I'll
 be glad to add it but don't think this is WordPress bug.
