Sounds like this may cause WebCompatibility issues?
How worried are we about this?

Mildly but not desperately.

Given that 48 moves to Dev Edition in ~1 week, is there any reason to not wait for the 49 cycle to let it bake a full Nightly cycle (and potentially let us find compat bustage)?

Can we mitigate this through testing?

Hard to say.

We could try to mitigate through searching web content for the relevant
method names, but I believe that was already done when writing the spec.
   I could be wrong, of course....

Past that, I'm not sure how to design a test plan that would catch
issues, if any, here.  :(

Stuff like this is easy to test for once we know what breaks. It's really hard to predict what weird usage in the wild might break this though...
