My guess is that this is a timing issue of some sort and ultimately a bug
(race condition) in watir.
One thing you can do is put small sleep statements in there.
For example put a "sleep 0.1" right before the failing line and then see if
you can reproduce the problem. If not, that proves it is a race condition.
(We still would need to figure out exactly where the problem is, however.)

OK, I was wrong, the behavior is intermittent. Sometimes it works and
sometimes it doesn't :-( Any suggestions about how to track this down?
