Both parent and input need to be cloned in this case. While parent's
callback runs it changes the type of input, at which point input's
callback runs. So, yes.

It's a bit unclear to me why "When an input element's type attribute
changes state" does not sanitize this value in any way though or how
cloning it makes it a security concern.
