So the underlying cause of this failure is not new; but the recent change to delay firing the 'seeker' event until the frame at the seek destination is actually decoded makes this happen much more frequently.  It goes like this:

1. MSE client enqueues a bunch of data to be parsed and enqueued
2. In the background, the media engine begins decoding the first visible frame
3. MSE client calls seek(), which enqueues a task to do the seek
4. The first frame is decoded, which triggers a readyState change.
5. The readyState change sees that the seek flag is set, and per the spec, finishes seeking
6. The seek task finally fires.

Previous to this change, the ready state change in step 4 happens between step 2 and 3. After this change, it's much more likely that the ready state change in step 4 happens after the seek request in step 3.
