Steps to reproduce:

This simple code tries to remove a second listener, attached on the same node to the same event phase: http://jsfiddle.net/ondras/fD9qq/


Actual results:

The listener was removed.


Expected results:

The listener shall not be removed. According to the spec, candidate listeners are unchangeable during their execution on a particular node/object. 

Note this works for addEventListener (new listener is not executed during this event, as expected).
