Subject: [PATCH] fix(input): don't dirty model when input event triggered due
 to placeholder change

Certain versions of IE inexplicably trigger an input event in response to a placeholder
being set.

It is not possible to sniff for this behaviour nicely as the event is not triggered if
the element is not attached to the document, and the event triggers asynchronously so
it is not possible to accomplish this without deferring DOM compilation and slowing down
load times.

Closes #2614
Closes #5960
