REPRODUCTION:

I was able to reproduce this issue on macOS Ventura (13.5, 22G74/arm64) ToT using the following command:

run-webkit-tests --clobber-old-results --verbose --iterations 500 --exit-after-n-failures 1 --child-processes 10 -f media/video-pause-while-seeking.html

REGRESSION:

As this issue extends past the history shown on the flakiness dashboard, I was unable to bisect a regression point.

[Enrique Ocaña]

I don't have a proper Mac test environment available here right now, but I suspect that the unhandled promise rejection may happen in the promise that the video.play() call returns.

I'm submitting a tentative fix that protects that call with a catch().

With the pull request above, the issue progresses to the following text diff:

```
 ++ Video started to play, seeking
 
 RUN(video.currentTime = 10)
+EVENT(seeked)
+
+++ Video seeked
+
 
 ++ Pausing video before seek finishes
 
 RUN(video.pause())
-EVENT(seeked)
-
-++ Video seeked
-
 
 ++ Checking if it was actually paused (time not marching on)
```

Attaching pretty diff.
