Angular messes up events on a select tag

[blittle]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Look at http://jsbin.com/xazadekuti/3/edit?html,js,console,output
2. Click on the empty text input
3. Tab to the select input
4. Press "i" key twice
5. Notice that the second event does not fire (whether logged by angular, jquery, or native).

If I comment out all of the angular code, the event fires correctly. The problem exists in 1.3.x and 1.4.x. I can work around the problem apparently by putting a blank <option></option> tag at the start of the list.

Tested in Chrome, FF, and Safari. Broken in Chrome and Safari.

Hmm. One thing's weird. If you preselect an option via, say ngModel = 'AL', it also works with angular.

This is a duplicate of #9134. When angular removes the "unknown" option from the DOM, Chrome somehow gets confused and doesn't fire a change event.
