Really? As far as I can tell, this was already introduced in the original implementation in bug 1271570 (https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/e6109363cd6e). Still, good find, thanks for spotting this.

Verified in the latest Nightly (2018-10-16) and Beta (63.0b15) builds, I was able to access the HTML file without any kind of issues.

Methods used:
 - steps from Comment 0 using a file manager
 - directly by accessing the file from FF by navigating through storage
