I'll confirm that this is indeed an issue.  chromium/iceweasel do
detect this as badness, and appropriately warn the user, so epiphany's
behavior is certainly wrong.  However, webkit (and thus webkit-based
browsers) are not supported security-wise in debian (due to a lack of
an upstream security process):
http://www.debian.org/releases/testing/i386/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#browser-security

The bug severity was downgraded since due to that.

You may want to consider a CVE request.

Best wishes,
Mike
