Reproduced; I havent looked to see if this scenario has been reported already.

This is possibly bug 51532

Also managed to reproduce in Chrome 28.

No error in javascript console in both browsers.

Attached:

I can't reproduce after about 20 tries in Firefox 23/Linux/Monobook

I could reproduce this with cyrillic letters in be-x-old.wikipedia.org, at least a few weeks ago.

I can occasionally reproduce this in Chrome and Firefox, but not reliably (roughly 1 in 10 replacements). Race condition on the change stack or something?

Using the current Firefox 27 alpha (Aurora build), the problem seems to be much worse, as the pawn appears reliably in step 2 just after pressing "a". Maybe it's a different issue, but maybe it helps debugging this one.

TBH, this pawn stuff seems to be very weird and unstable to me. Why can they appear in the first place?

Bumping; this is happening 100% of the time now.

Pressing anything other than delete no longer does anything for me, which seems sensible.
