I tried this again and cannot always reproduce. I guess appearing of the bug depends on some factors like processing states when I pressing a key.

Reassign to default per bug 37789

SimpleSearch issues => Moving to Vector (as per $wgVectorUseSimpleSearch)

The whole mess is actually in core.

Cannot reproduce. Per T26654 and T26215 we are also phasing out this code so I don't think it makes sense to invest more effort here.
