Affects all current channels too so it's been like this for a while.

iir there's an issue in SelectionHandler._getHandlePositions() in that case (original selection carets)... that never got enough attention (Bug 837615 - Wrong position of text selection handle inside iframe).
This is better using the new Gecko-based carets and your STR, but it's broken different. Not sure I've seen a bug for this yet, so I'm thinking we can morph this, and WONTFIX bug 837615 later.

Also, tracking this during Gecko II/Accessible carets updates, bug 1215959

May be a dup of Bug 1257273 (?) ... "When selecting text in an iframe that does not have focus, the selection handles appear outside of the iframe"
May also be related to Bug 1265550 ... "Trying to focus on text field sometimes selects it instead"

This bug is about selecting a word in an iframe. I have patches in bug 1306634 that can fix this.
