<textarea> value localized on change

We are running into an issue with our text area tags sending every value to the Localize API on change. Ex.

H
He
Hel
Hell
Hello

Anytime a user updates a <textarea> tag, our pending phrases are flooded with useless info.

We have tried

<div data-notranslate>
    <textarea></textarea>
</div>

<div>
    <textarea data-notranslate></textarea>
</div>

<div notranslate>
    <textarea></textarea>
<div>

<div>
    <textarea notranslate></testarea>
</div>

As well as using the ignored classes and ids. None of which seems to prevent this.

Is this a bug? Or is there a setting that ignores data-notranslate for certain html tags that we may have added somewhere on accident?
