WebKit Nightly r209896 too light regular Skia rendering

In WebKit Nightly r209896 and https://jsfiddle.net/whLa398b/1/ I get a lighter rendering for the regular variant at 1.0 wght value than at the lighter wght variant at 0.8 value. This was discovered while I was using the modified blog post jsfiddle as an example: https://jsfiddle.net/0v1wkpmz/ 

If I am not mistaken, the expected result is: The wght 0.8 instance should look lighter. Fonttools tells me both axes in Skia use 1.0 as their default value, so does the "Regular" named instance.
