Looks to be in ve.ce.FocusableNode#calculateHighlights on line 437:

surfaceOffset = this.focusableSurface.getSurface().getBoundingClientRect();

(For me it threw 'Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'getSurface' of null'. – this.focusableSurface is null for me on save.)

Has anybody been able to reproduce?
Does somebody plan to work on this ("assignee" field)?
Should this task still be "Unbreak now" priority?

Seems to now work. Odd. Possibly an odd deployment/caching issue?
