Press-and-hold character input still broken in Chrome 50

Reported by p.stephani2@gmail.com, Apr 25 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_4) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/50.0.2661.86 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
This issue is somewhat similar to https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=460999 and https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=94630. Some variants of the problem (e.g. using digits or arrow keys) have been fixed in Chrome 50, but the issue described below still exists.

1. Make sure "press and hold" is enabled (see e.g. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7306504?tstart=0)
2. Set the keyboard focus to any HTML text input form (<input type=text>, <textarea>, etc.)
3. Long-press the "a" key until the character selection dialog appears
4. Press "1" to select "à", and immediately afterwards (with no more than ~100 ms delay) hit "a" again

What is the expected behavior?
"àa" is inserted

What went wrong?
"aàa" is inserted. Note the extra "a". This does not happen if the delay in step 4 is too long (> 100 ms).

Did this work before? No 

Chrome version: 50.0.2661.86  Channel: stable
OS Version: OS X 10.11.4
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 21.0 r0

[mac triage] I can't repro this in a MacViews textfield, so it's something weird happening at the content/blink layer.
