It doesn't have to do with foreground vs background. It's whether you are sending Cmd-R to Safari or Web Inspector, which use different APIs. Currently, Web Inspector does this in the backend:

    OptionSet<ReloadOption> reloadOptions;
    if (optionalIgnoreCache && *optionalIgnoreCache)
        reloadOptions |= ReloadOption::FromOrigin;
    m_page.mainFrame().loader().reload(reloadOptions);

So I believe we just need to use ReloadOption::ExpiredOnly in the normal case.
