VisualEditor: Cannot apply annotations to link in specific case in Firefox

Description

At https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Indian_massacre_of_1622&oldid=564508110&veaction=edit, I can not unitalicize 'Nemattanew' ("In the spring of 1622, after a settler murdered his adviser ''[[Nemattanew]]'',") in Firefox/Iceweasel 21. It marks it as unitalicized in the toolbar, but if you click away and click back it shows italics again.

I confirmed it wasn't related to my preferences by testing logged out (still in Firefox). However, it does work fine logged out in Chromium.

Note, the way I tried to unitalicize was by double-clicking the name (so it's all highlighted), then clicking the toolbar italics icon (which showed as enabled before I clicked).

Confirmed. Very odd. Note that making the selection broader (e.g. a character either side of the link) lets you make it bold/remove italics/etc.

Sorry for very slow triage.

Can't reproduce in FF 27. Can someone else?
