I am using WebKitGTK 2.15.2 and latest epiphany code from git master branch.
1) Open epiphany and three tabs each with a different website.
2) Open google.com in the third tab.
3) Open distrowatch.com in the third tab and notice that it still uses the
google.com favicon.

It basically gives all subsequent websites loaded in a tab the favicon of the first website loaded in this tab.

This works in webkitgtk+ 2.14.2 so must be a regression in 2.15.2

I'm skeptical of that. The favicon database has been buggy and unreliable for as long as I remember. I can't reproduce this at all, but I did get a MissingNo-style gibberish favicon for the second tab I loaded, which is another longstanding bug.
The favicon database also has significant memory leaks easily-discoverable when using valgrind or asan.

They are updating correctly again 2.15.3

OK then....
