The :empty selector only selects elements with no children, not elements with no value attribute.
A [value] selector will select elements with a value attribute/property. Firefox always defines value on input elements whereas Chrome does not. In most cases using input[type=text][value=''] will do what you want.
I don't think there's a bug here so I'll close the ticket.
