Probable cause:

Unknown, this test became flaky within the last 7 days.

Based on when this started, this could be more fallout from https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/229831/webkit

This test is pretty straight forward, as far as IDB tests go.

It's somewhat surprising that it has this failure mode.

It is interesting that dont-wedge-private has the problem but not dont-wedge

This suggests to me it's an aspect of the in-process, in-memory private store.

Perhaps this store is synchronous enough to actually allow the open request to finish before the reload takes place. 

Though that would be some what surprising... I suppose I can try to verify*

* - That will be hard because I have been wholly unable to reproduce locally.

I'm going to land a speculative fix to the test that makes the asynchronous database activity take MANY MANY more spins of the runloop, reliably so.

That should give the location change a chance to always take place first.
