Hi Dima. I can confirm the bug on macOS and GTK. A quick debug in WebCore::DOMWindow::allowPopUp shows that UserGestureIndicator::processingUserGesture() returns false for "Channel Message" because UserGestureIndicator::currentToken() is null, so indeed it seems the user gesture context is not propagated somehow.
