difficult to debug ... here is what I would do:

* confirm that I am using the OpenLayers source that I think I am  
using (if using a single file build, make sure the single file is  
built with the patches)
* confirm using firebug that the changes are actually in the source code
* set a breakpoint in getFeatureIdFromEvent (Elements.js) and see if  
evt.target is the right thing (a textbox node) and that it has a  
_featureId property (which is what is returned and which makes the  
selection work).
