Inserting base element effectively changes all the subsequent URLs on the page. Any script may insert one so to avoid double loads we could never load anything else as long as there is a pending script load. This would mean disabling preloading, which is out of the question.

Only reasonable fix would be to ignore the base url change for elements for which we have already started loads for (HTML5 text could be interpreted like that). However that could break something and is probably not worth the effort in any case.
