And an even bigger thanks to the TinyMCE guys. They did all the hard work. Seriously, that's the edge that we have over other (commercial) systems. We can leverage community work, like jmol, tinymce, numpy, etc., to grow by leaps and bounds while we are still small.

I've posted a patch to #4245 which solves this issue. This patch needs to be reviewed. I've marked it critical, but it probably ought to be marked blocker if it threw away stuff on you. It's a simple one-line fix.
