Bisection on Try has confirmed that this was caused by bug 1376525. Appears to only affect Linux, but always in the same test. Failure rate is ~50%.

The patch below should be enough to reproduce.

My guess is:

1. A script is long running with DocGroup for tab A active
2. A tab switch happens
3. JS interrupt runs, triggering new tab B to paint
4. Keyboard APZ creates a focus target for this paint
5. Focus target collects event targets that would be hit for a key event (using an eVoid event)
6. One of them is an <input> which lazily initializes [1]
7. The lazy initialization causes a DOM modification for tab B [2] http://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/f2a1911ad310bf8651f342d719e4f4ca0a7b9bfb/layout/forms/nsTextControlFrame.cpp#1202

The assertion is because the DocGroup for tab A is active, while we are modifying B.

I don't think we need to lazy init <input> when we are dispatching eVoid events. Fixing that resolved this issue for me. I can't see any other GetEventTargetParent implementations that do similar, so I think that's all that needed.

I think it'd be nice to include the description in the commit message as a code comment around here instead.
