This bug also applies to IOS6 on iPhone.

Removing and reading the placeholder in an orientationchange handler will fix the problem. This solution is jQuery specific:

$(window).on("orientationchange", fixIOS6PlaceholderBug);

function fixIOS6PlaceholderBug () {
    var $this,
        originalPlaceholder = "";

    $(document).find("input[placeholder]").each(function() {
        $this = $(this);
        originalPlaceholder = $this.attr("placeholder");
        $this.removeAttr("placeholder").attr("placeholder", originalPlaceholder);
    });
}
