Caused by bug 784402.
Chris, could this have been caused by the recent pointerlock change that landed?
This doesn't look like it's caused by my recent pointer lock changes, they landed on inbound at:
bug 794725: Sun Sep 30 13:17:07 2012 PDT
Bug 782729: Mon Sep 24 16:46:02 2012 PDT 

I agree with Ed Morely, this is an original regression from bug 784402.

The failure is pretty simple; the test added in bug 784402 [1] includes pointerlock_utils.js [2], and pointerlock_utils.js assumes that anything that includes it will define a function called "start", and it tries to call that in a load event handler. But the new test added by bug 784402 doesn't define "start", it instead has a function "startTest" that begins the test after an iframe has loaded.

So we're throwing a JS exception due to referencing an undefined property "start" in a child window. The fact that our test harness didn't report this as perma-orange is disturbing.

A simple fix is to change pointerlock_utils.js to not call "start" if it isn't defined, i.e. assume the test file including pointerlock_utils.js will start itself if it doesn't define a "start" function.

I'll make a patch.

Prevents the exception locally.

Patch: Don't assume every mochitest that includes pointerlock_utils.js defines a 'start' function to begin its tests.
