#44966: Safari + Voiceover does not allow tags entry in editor

This appears to be a bug limited to Safari and Voiceover, but it impacts
the experience of users who rely on these technologies. We’ve been able
to reproduce this across versions of MacOS, up to at least 10.13.6, and
Safari up to 12.0.
To reproduce:
1. With Safari + Voiceover, open the editor.
2. Navigate to the tags box.
3. Use VO + Arrow keys to focus on the tags combobox.
4. When you type to add text, it is not added to the box.
The existing workaround is to navigate to a nearby element and use
tab/shift+tab to place the cursor in the combobox. Our own investigations
suggest that this is related to AJAX as it works when the textbox contains
placeholder text.
