This seems to be a problem caused by the fix for bug 352791.

1. Get an object from a subframe and register it as an event listener.
2. Load a target site in the subframe.
3. Dispatch an event.

The event listener is called with the target site's principal.

The patch in bug 412598 fixes this. I didn't bother figuring out exactly the series of events that happens to cause the XSS opportunity. The underlying cause is the same as in bug 412598.
Depends on: 412598

Bug 412598 is fixed, but this XSS can still work if there is no JS on the
stack.

The patch in bug 413200 fixes this for real.
