I've tried to think of a workaround, depending on your own hint. You've got it right, but didn't implement it yet. :) I just coded your idea. What I did was to enclose within a wrapper, and setting before and after pseudo elements to just hide the top and bottom parts. I hope that would solve your issue.

It would also run perfectly in Chrome, Firefox as well as in IE.

.container {
    width: 90%;
    position: relative;
}
textarea {
	background-color: #1c1b1b;
	border:0;
    border-radius: 4px;
    color: #fff;
    display: block;
    height: 165px;
    margin-bottom: 21px;
    padding: 10px;
    resize: none;
    width: 100%;
	border-radius: 4px;
}
.container:before, .container:after {
	content:'';
    display: block;
    height: 10px;
    background: #1c1b1b;
    position: absolute;
    left: 4px;
    right: 18px;
}
.container:before {
    top: 0px;
}
.container:after {
    bottom: 0px;
}
