I have now found this comment, it's in DOMCSSStyleDeclaration::put(). FWIW:
// We have to ignore exceptions here, because of the following unfortunate
situation:
//   1) Older versions ignored exceptions here by accident, because the put
function
//      that translated exceptions did not translate CSS exceptions.
//   2) Gecko does not raise an exception in this case, although WinIE does.
//   3) At least some Dashboard widgets are depending on this behavior.
// It would be nice to fix this some day, perhaps with some kind of "quirks
mode",
// but it's likely that the Dashboard widgets are already using a strict mode
DOCTYPE.
