Okay, so IE is acting like I'd expect - the shadow contents of the
<input> are overflow:visible by default, and so we see the "hi", just
offset below the top padding.

With Boris' explanation that they use overflow-clip-box on <input>s to
make it clip to the content box, FF's behavior also makes sense - it's
doing the same thing as IE, just with an additional clip that prevents
you from seeing anything.

It's just Chrome's behavior that looks like hardcoded wackiness.

You gave me what I needed, thanks!
