Thanks for the testcase.

Reproducible on Mac as well:
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:2.0b3pre) Gecko/20100728 Minefield/4.0b3pre

I agree that it is unusual to have the autocomplete suggestions showing when the form field has disappeared.

It seems like you don't want mouse events sent to the page when an autocomplete popup is displayed.
