hover works in safari, not in WKWebView

When using a WKWebView on macOS Sierra, css hover pseudo-class is not activated. Javascript mouse move events also are not fired. It appears that the same event handling for iOS is being used: i.e. hover is activated on click, not via the actual mouse movements. This works fine in Safari.

I cannot reproduce this in a WK2 MiniBrowser window, the hover effect does work.
