The inner WebView is by design completely independent from the outer one (from the point of view of the outer one, it's just a plug-in), so it shouldn't be a problem that we call layout() on the inner one during paint() in the outer one. WebPlugin also doesn't have a layout() method, so we can't call layout() on the inner WebView when the outer one is being layouted.

How important is it that we keep this assert? It would be nice to debug in force-compositing-mode and not occasionally fire this assert when there's an old or missing plugin.
