in a11y mochitest we mouse wave over the image map to make sure frames are created. As practice assistive technology users don't use mouse thus I worry that image map can be broken for them. There's a bug 745788, an intermittent failure, recently it was turned into permanent bug, thus I assume something in image map handling was changed in Firefox 18. Roc said in bug 745788 comment #267: The best fix for this is probably to have nsImageFrame use nsReferencedElement to find its map. nsReferencedElement knows how to handle this case.
