Ah hah! I got it.
Actually, I might even classify this as IE doing things right and FF
making the mistake (somebody please point out to me why I'm wrong :) )
In my example there were 2 children - one an img tag, and one a div.
Calling text or html on an img tag doesn't make sense to IE and
probably shouldn't to FF either. So just changing that line to
(something like):
$('#Layer-3').children('div').text( 'some text' );
solved the problem.
