In fact, the behavior is almost identical to this:

p:hover > * {
	display: none;
}
p:hover::before {
	content: "test";
}

Only with some extra magic that also hides the anonymous inline children of <p>.

On that note, what should happen with the following?

p { content: url(image); }
p::before { content: "foo"; }

I presume it should fall under the same "undefined" banner that
setting img::before does, correct?
