Cannot edit text fields on web page in tabbed mode

Description
When navigating a web page in "tabbed mode" (no mouse cursor) and placing the focus on a text field, pressing "Select" or selecting "Edit" from the Options menu does not place an edit cursor into the field on some phone models, but instead submits the form.
Tabbed mode is equivalent to the setNavigationEnabled() feature in the Widget Runtime, but can also be enabled using the <META NAME="navigation" CONTENT="tabbed"> header field on a page itself.
How to reproduce
Open this web page in the browser:
<HTML> <HEAD> <META NAME="navigation" CONTENT="tabbed"> <TITLE>Test</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <A href="http://www.nokia.com">Nokia</A> <FORM action="http://www.google.com/search"><INPUT name=q></FORM> </BODY> </HTML>
and place the focus onto the text field. Pressing "Select" on affected devices will open the Google search page (submitting an empty search), rather than letting you edit the text field.
A copy of this page is temporarily available on my website for quick verification of the problem.
The problem does not occur on the N95 with FW 10.0.018 and the N95-8GB with FW 15.0.015, and also not on the E90 FW 200.34.69.
It appears that the problem can also be reproduced on the N81 with FW 11.0.0.45.
The problem only affects text fields (INPUT elements), but not TEXTAREA and SELECT elements which otherwise behave in a very similar way to edit fields.
Workaround
None known, except for not using "tabbed mode".
