Back in 2008, Mark Rowe (bdash) thought apple should handle the problem with the interface being locked out on their own and seems to have reported it upstream: <rdar://problem/5767363>
The report is against webkit/safari and I don't think the bug was checked against epiphany at that time: <a class="bz_bug_link

I am unable to log in to apple's bugtracker and can't get any information about how they handled it. My guess is that they found a way to work around the interface lockout in their browser without considering fixing the problem in webkit.</pre>
