This is an ancient bug in WebKit. Very early versions (Safari 1 or
thereabouts) had this problem with pretty much all events. It was
solved later, and frankly I thought it had disappeared entirely.
Apparently not so.

Making a text node the target of an event never makes sense from a web
development perspective. I advise you to always make the correct Node
the target.
