Oh, whoops.  That's what I forgot about.  Ryosuke Niwa of WebKit says
that for editing commands, DOM mutation events for editing commands
(not sure about things like insertBefore()) get delayed until after
the command finishes executing:

But I'm not too happy trying to spec anything interesting here when
you have this DOM mutation stuff hanging around, so for now I think
I'll just spec what DOM 2 Range says.  I'll leave a note in the spec
to revisit this later.

Thanks.
