I think what you describe is a different bug for the following reasons:

1. I'm using Firefox Nightly. Shouldn't I have the fix already?

2. The text is not empty. It has at least one replaced-object character
   in it.

3. As I alluded to in the text above, and stated explicitly in the part
   of the message you didn't include, it's not the character extents I
   am looking at; it's the bounding box of the entire container:

    You can find the size in Accerciser by selecting the
    object on the left and looking under "Component" in Accerciser's
    interface viewer. An example of where I'm seeing this issue is the
    accessible with role section which is the parent of the accessible
    of role section with id of center_col. This is where *all* the
    search results are.

If you have time to look into this from the Firefox side of things, that
would be helpful.

Thanks!
