If we wanted to match the Firefox behavior in this case, we would need to make
substantial changes to match other Firefox quirks as well. For example, Firefox
treats "foo = x", "foo", and "window.foo" as referring to different variables.

All of these behaviors are odd. But what spec are you referring to? I don't
think there is any spec that governs this specific quirk of the global object.
