When opening Safari, the Allow Plug-ins option in preferences is enabled, even if it has been previously disabled.

Nice.

I don't understand this addition, didn't we use to assert in makeKey? Why does this need to be a runtime check?

registerDefaultBoolValueForKey calls platformGetBoolUserValueForKey even if the identifier is empty. I guess I could have added the checks there, but it seems logical to handle the no-identifier (and therefore no user defaults) case here.

Fixed in <http://trac.webkit.org/r171928>.
