We suffer from the same issue. Setting the type of an input that is already a part of any DOM tree will cause an error in IE < 9.

patch(container, function() {
  elementVoid('input', null, null, 'type', 'text');
});

We're safe using statics, since the node won't have been inserted anywhere yet — statics are set during the creation and before alignment can insert it.

patch(container, function() {
  elementVoid('input', null, ['type', 'text']);
});
