To fix this in WebCore we would need a per-Page function queue, mutex, and have multiple callers to scheduleDispatchOnMainThread. I don't know that code well enough to tell if this is easy or hard (due to some subtle invariants). There are a lot of uses of callOnMainThread throughout WebCore and many of those don't have a Page context, so only some of the callbacks would be tied to a Page. So we might have to think carefully about what other parts of the code should/should not be suspended.

I wrote a quick workaround which defines WebInspector.Promise = RSVP.Promise, and uses WebInspector.Promise everywhere. RSVP (https://github.com/tildeio/rsvp.js) is an MIT-licensed promise library in JS. It should be easy to remove this workaround after we land a fix in WebCore or make progress towards multi-process Inspector.
