In WebKit1 there's code to prevent that load signals are emitted when loading internal custom error pages. We added webkit_web_view_replace_content() with the same idea, but it has ended up being problematic, because it allows to add any HTML content (in WebKit1 we assumed internal error pages never fails and always load) and it's impossible to know when the load has finished. It also required a lot of logic to handle replace_content as an especial case, in order to hide the fact that it loads content. So, let's rename it to webkit_web_view_load_alternate_html() and emit load events normally. Clients can easily ignore load signals when loading alternate content.
