Video demonstration of issue.

When a <video> element playing an HLS stream is paused, and the tab is then backgrounded for a period of time (e.g., 5 minutes), upon resuming the video, it skips forward instead of continuing from the paused point.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Navigate to https://andadinosaur.com/hls-test in Safari.
2. Play the video.
3. Pause the video.
4. Open a new tab (this backgrounds the tab with the video).
5. Wait for 5 minutes.
6. Return to the original tab with the video.
7. Resume the video.

Expected Results: The video should resume from the point where it was paused.

Actual Results: The video skips forward when resumed.

This does not reproduce for me on STP186. Are you still able to reproduce this on latest Safari Technology Preview? https://developer.apple.com/safari/download/

Thanks!
