Subject: [PATCH] Add guard against elements removed from the DOM

We can't guarantee that elements we stored a
reference to with `classesToPersist.remove` will
still exist so we need to guard against this.

Note: it checks for whether the node is still
attached to the DOM rather than whether it exists
because the standard way to delete a node just
detaches it from the DOM and relies on garbage
collection to delete it from memory.
