Comment (by azaozz):

 The empty `<i>` are only removed when there is no other content in the
 parent block (`<p><i></i> test</p>` stays intact). The only way around
 that is to pad the empty <i> on `'BeforeSetContent'` and remove the
 padding on `'SaveContent'`.

 Please test 28940.patch asap so it can make it in 4.0 :)
