I've documented this behavior on https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/manifest.json/optional_permissions to give developers a heads-up. In case this gets fixed this hint could get removed.
I reverted the edit on MDN since we generally don't document bugs there.

Ok, didn't know that. Will avoid it in the future. Thanks for pointing to the already reported bug and for working on a fix already!
No problem, thank you for your enthusiasm for getting this addressed, I hope to have the patch on the other bug landed soon.
