This template matches on text-nodes,

whose immediately preceding-sibling node is a input element

and this input element may not have a text node. This last predicate is for 
the writing of <input>text</input><br/> instead of writing 
<input/>text<br/>. If there is a text in <input/> you will not ignore the 
next text after the <input/>.
If you refer to the strict.dtd of HTML 4.0, you can remove the last predicate.

But maybe you have to add a further predicate to differ between "normal" 
input (type="text"), where you want to have the text follwoing the <input/> 
and radios or checkboxes, where you don't want the text because of your 
<option/>s.
