Note that this only occurs on browsers that don't support the HTML5
placeholder attribute.  It doesn't happen for me on Chrome.

Shouldn't be hard.

You can view the original source code in SVN, like here:

http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/UsabilityInitiative/Vector/Modules/SimpleSearch/SimpleSearch.js?view=markup

The problem seems to be on line 62.  Probably best to do something
like .replace( mw.usability.getMsg( 'vector-simplesearch-search' ), ''
) on the value instead of setting it to the empty string.  I don't
know how to do that in jQuery, so I'll leave the actual fix to someone
else.
