I think WebKit is correct here, this syntax is invalid in XPath 1.0. See rule 4
- an abbreviated step cannot have predicates.

[4] Step ::= AxisSpecifier NodeTest Predicate*  
             | AbbreviatedStep

Also, see rule 20 - since "." is not a PrimaryExpr, it cannot start a
FilterExpr either.

[20] FilterExpr ::= PrimaryExpr
                    | FilterExpr Predicate

>From rule 20 comes another workaround: "(.)[@class='test']".
