After adding a listbox to a document, the listbox displays and UI works fine.
However, accessing listbox properties like .selectedItem via js does not work.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. generate a documentFragment that includes a valid listbox with listitems
2. .appendChild the documentFragment into an existing document
3. select one of the list items
4. trigger an event to access the listbox.selectedItem

Actual Results:  
listbox.selectedItem is null

Expected Results:  
listbox.selectedItem should be a listitem object


My attachements rely on a foreign xml datasource, so they're not the best
testcase. But I'll include them anyway for reference.
