In dom/xml/XMLDocument.cpp :: Load(), we call content policies with the callingDoc, but the current documents principal. 
https://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/dom/xml/XMLDocument.cpp#292

Per Jonas, the principal and the callingDoc's principal should be the same.  This method takes an existing document that has content in it and loads new content in it; it doesn't return a new document.  Hence the principal of ther caller should be the same as the principal of the current document.

This bug is to add an assertion to ensure they are the same.  Note that this might cause an addon compat issue.  Addons should be using xmlhttprequest instead of xmldocument.

Rather than asserting, you should throw NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED, and put an error message in the developer console, if this happens.

Here's an easy example of how to log something to the error console:

Some minor errors here (sorry, I think they are my fault)

Use of document.load forbidden on Documents that come from other Windows. Only the Window in which a Document was created is allowed to call .load on that Document. Preferably, use XMLHttpRequest instead.

Was this intended to break simple code such as

var xslt = document.implementation.createDocument("", "", null);
xslt.async = false;
xslt.load(someurlonsamesite);
