Comment (by crschmidt):

 Actually, just tested this in IE, and realized that Safari and IE behave
 somewhat similarly, so ignore the latter part of my comment above.
 However, this still doesn't mean that the same issue caused this behavior
 between the two.

 I'm not really sure what to do about this. It seems to be a clear case
 where our behavior is simply exploiting a weakness in the rendering
 engine: perhaps stopping mousemove or similar would help us, but it would
 lose out in other ways that I'm not convinced are appropriate. (The
 MousePosition control, for example, would stop working.) Perhaps we need
 to do something different instead of r5772, at least in IE/VML...
