This makes me think that WebKitGTK+ is triggering a non-accelerated (fallback?)
code path in Mesa, which is used both by the swrast/llvmpipe and also by the
Intel driver in older generations of GPUs — newer Intel chips would implement
the same feature in hardware and that would explain why they don't seem to be
affected. That would mean that WebKit is doing something it shouldn't but GPUs
accept anyway, or that there is a buggy software fallback in Mesa.

Does this hypothesis make sense?
