FWIW, https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=694157 is the most recent Chrome issue on this. https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=168591 is the most recent Safari issue. It seems they have adopted this to some extent, but not all code paths are aligned...

Karl is there anything to be done here?

First this is not really a webcompat bug.
It's more like a standard bug, and Firefox has already made the move here.
The current discussion bug at Chrome is
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=694157 (active discussion there)

Safari behaves like Firefox.
