I'm not 100% sure, so take this with a grain of salt, but I think there are
cases where iframes the load immediately (e.g. if the resource is cached).

To avoid race conditions, I think you need the frames to actually never
finish loading. I thought there were some HTTP tests that have resources
that intentionally never finish loading. I'd look in the
LayoutTests/http/tests for files with 'slow' in the name.
