<label> around an input field eats following elements

See original GitHub issue

I’m not sure what the problem is, but if I have an input field inside a label as recommended by mdn:

bel(`<div>
  <label> <input type="checkbox" checked> text </label>
  <a>outside</a>
</div>`).toString();

// ->
<div>
  <label> <input type="text" type="type" checkbox"="checkbox&quot;" />
    <a>outside</a>
  </label>
</div>

… The following elements somehow teleport inside the label.

[Edited: Added checked to the input tag, which is required to reproduce the bug.]
