Ah, great idea! This won't be the first time I've compared our code against OUIEditableFrame to figure out what we're doing wrong. :)
…Oh, but OUIEditableFrame doesn't implement accessibility. Dag. But if I add a dummy implementation there I also get the bonk. (And if I take out accessibility from our code, the bonk goes away.) So it looks like the problem isn't something we're doing wrong in our UITextInput code.
<two hours of trial and error>
Okay, got it! It bonks when accessibilityValue is empty. The docs say "Use the value property only when an accessibility element can have a value that is not represented by its label," so we were setting the accessibilityLabel to the text in each line and leaving the value empty. Switching from label to value stops the bonk.
Phew.
Many thanks for the help!
