Any update on this? Its quite annoying.

Basically what's happening is anytime you have JS code that "touches" a window reference from another domain, WebKit logs an "exception" in the console (not a warning), even though there is no real exception thrown to Javascript, and this is not illegal.

Often times you might have JS code that looks like this:

if (self !== top) { /* bust out of iframe */)

Or

top.postMessage("mymsg", "*");

Where the js code presented here is inside an iframe, that has an x-domain location.

This is illustrated in the test pages attached, but you'll need to have access to 2 different domains to test it (or use a host file and what not to acheive it).
