Related Chromium thread that resolves exactly this issue in the Chrome fork of webkit: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=17325

The issue stems from cross-domain iframe access attempts that violate the same-origin policy; even when wrapped in a try/catch block, this message is still output. See the following jsfiddle for a simple example showing that the try/catch logic evaluates correctly, but the access attempt is still logged despite the catch. 

There's a lot of interest from the adtech industry in resolving this issue, since it makes debugging in Safari browsers difficult to impossible.
