This related to, or blocking bug 588927.

Also, see https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=912892#c8 - an interoperability issue reported to Chrome that seems to be a Firefox and Edge (irrelevant at this point) issue -
Basically, when two activation targets are nested <button><label>a</label></button>, Firefox picks the outermost element (<button>), Chrome picks the innermost element (<label>).

Interestingly, Edge diverged from Internet Explorer (which behaved like Chrome).

This should be resolved with my changes for bug 1658996.
