Is there any way this bug can be addressed?

It's is apparently a problem for Skype.  Skype uses webkit for its chat
interface and according to the developer, animated emoticons are always
animated using up CPU even if skype is in the background because of this bug. 
Perhaps there is another way to handle that issue but is there any reason why
this is not  

Also, in terms of Safari, I find that even if a window has popped behind the
main window and is not visible to the user it still seems to be animated and
using cpu. Might fixing this allow you to stop animations in windows that are
not visible to the user. I suspect that would greatly reduce the cpu burden on
users on older machines from these animated ads behind the main window.
