Based on the Apache Access log, I think we fail on step 1:
case "#step1":
                setSessionCookie();
                setPersistentCookie();
                checkCookies(true, true);
                if (testRunner.hasStatisticsIsolatedSession(prevalentOrigin))
                    testPassed("Origin has isolated session.");
                else {
                    testFailed("Origin has no isolated session.");
                    setEnableFeature(false, finishJSTest);
                }
                document.location.href = nonPrevalentOrigin + "/resourceLoadStatistics/switch-session-on-navigation-to-prevalent-without-interaction.py#step2";
                break;


I am unclear why the session would not be recognized as isolated, since sessions are isolated unconditionally nowadays. I could only see 2 reasons:
1. We have not done any loads for that origin yet. This seems unlikely since the origin in question is "http://127.0.0.1:8000" and we should have just loaded the main resource of the test from this origin.
2. Something is clearing the isolated session. I do see there is a NetworkSessionCocoa::clearIsolatedSessions() for e.g.

I haven't been able to reproduce on iOS simulator so far and I currently don't have any idea of how this could fail.

This test no longer exists. It was reverted.
