could you provide some context for this? Are there existing or future tests that require this?

Some of the IndexedDB tests use this.  e.g. http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/dom/indexedDB/test/test_transaction_lifetimes_nested.html?force=1#55

This allows those tests to drop enablePrivilege.

This managed to somehow break some panorama tests ...

I think the wrapping functionality has subsumed this.
