Maybe I'm not understanding something about the site. How do you bring up the element?

How would I go about doing that?
Well, since the debugger method worked, this is somewhat moot, but I'll answer anyway.
Quick test indicates that's what suggestion #2 here

If the debugger method didn't work, I would have come up with some code you could put in the Web Console to log the parent node's contents on every change. The idea being that if you then bring up the element you want to inspect, it should log the code for that element. But that's a lot messier than seeing it in the inspector.

I didn't see any missing info on the sites I used for testing. This sounds like the issue where extension-injected code causes devtools to be partially blocked by sites' Content Security Policy. I have no idea how to fix it, sorry.
