I seem to have found a workaround for this bug.

There are now two more test cases linked to from the first test case that I
originally submitted (all three available at
http://ctro.net/workbench/fxdom/test.htm).

The second test case breaks in a slightly different way than the first, but is
using a much simplified javascript.

The third test case builds upon test case 2 and adjusts the contents of the html
being inserted via the .innerHTML property -- it removes a <span> Element.
 Doing so seems to fix the issue.

Works for me in current trunk build. 
Please test this in the latest trunk (1.8a) build.
