This is similar to the issue in bug 381825.  When you have a mouseover/out event from one input to another, sometimes you get a bad relatedTarget which causes an exception to be thrown when accessing it.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. move mouse quickly from one input to another
Actual Results:  
If done right, you will get mouseover/out events with a bad relatedTarget.

Expected Results:  
The relatedTarget should be the input field, not the secret div.
A *minimal* testcase would be useful here.
Sorry, something like this should work, requires Firebug for the console logging:

<html>
<body>
<input type="text" onmouseover="console.log(event.relatedTarget)" onmouseout="console.log(event.relatedTarget)"/><input type="text" onmouseover="console.log(event.relatedTarget)" onmouseout="console.log(event.relatedTarget)"/><br/>
<input type="text" onmouseover="console.log(event.relatedTarget)" onmouseout="console.log(event.relatedTarget)"/><input type="text" onmouseover="console.log(event.relatedTarget)" onmouseout="console.log(event.relatedTarget)"/>
</body>
</html>

Move the mouse quickly over the inputs and you should see the "anonymous-div" sometimes.  Moving left and right seems to do it more often, but I think it's just easier to move left and right quick enough.
Could you please upload a testcase which doesn't require any extra addons? 
Thanks.

I don't think this is a regression, so not sure about blocking1.9?
Not a blocker since it's not a regression. But wanted since we generally try to prevent you from getting hold of native anonymous nodes.

With Firebug Off, the test case in comment #5 crashes FF 3.5.1,

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.1) Gecko/20090715 Firefox/3.5.1

access violation in wrapper code that blames mrbkap. Probably an easy one to fix if you can repro.

Happened the first two times I tried the test. It does require hand driven mouse motion, so driving events from the page would be better.
John, *please* file a new bug. CC me and mrbkap
