Further update: I can’t reproduce the issue with "normal" text fields (tested bing.com and yahoo.com, the issue isn’t present).

Tested again google.com, and I can’t reproduce the issue by only clearing the field with backspace. For the bug to be observed, I first have to clear the current uncommitted word with the "X" icon, then type something else, then erase it with backspace, then hit backspace again in the empty field, and the first word (that was cleared by "X") is restored.

It seems there are two issues there, and my guess is that both are in oxide:
 - when the field is cleared with the "X" icon, we don’t cancel the current composition
 - when pressing backspace in an empty text field, the event should be ignored
