yahoo.com doesn't seem to be on the tracking-annotation list and in any case this seems to be the same as bug 1633697, right?

Yes, it might be, the difference is that in this case, yahoo.com does not have any storage. But as you said, yahoo.com under this form is not on the tracking-annotation list (on the list I only see http://www.yahoo.com/).
