In testcase 1, focus/click/hover over the links/span. You will find that all of
them, with the exception of one, have their :first-letter style rules
removed/replaced.

verifying. Maybe that bug should be moved to the style system component?

No, it's probably not a Style System bug.  The description of the style system
component says:

"Bugs in the handling of CSS stylesheets and the computation of style from CSS
stylesheets and HTML attributes."

The style data computed by the style system is then used by the layout, gfx,
view, and font code to display the page.  Probably the layout code is asking for
the wrong style data, although there could be something in the style system to
warn when :first-letter is requested for a non-block element...
