It seems like the test added by this patch is very crashy (~30%):

Unfortunately the crash log isn't helpful :( Hopefully you can reproduce this crash locally.

Why is this crash log not useful?

What leads you to believe it's this test causing the issues?

Rather, I mean, why do you think this is not a real bug that needs to be fixed independent of this test

Oh, I'm not saying that we should fix the test. We should fix WebKit not to crash.

I haven't been able to figure that out. If you go to the flakiness dashboard, you can click on one of those orange bars, you can get to build result pages.
