This is exactly #37007.
The two missing things for this testcase to work are:
1. using src='' instead of src='empty.html'
2. using <p>  </p>  around the text in document.writeln

Reason for 1. : we load urls asynchronously. So you first write into the
new window, and THEN empty.html gets loaded, overwriting what you
wrote into it. Not sure if this should be changed.... we surely can't block
the caller script until the URL is loaded, in general (think HTTP and very
slow servers). I guess other browsers just do it immediately for local files,
whereas the KIO architecture makes even file:// asynchronous.

Reason for 2. : dunno. Looks like a bug in the tokenizer.

Ouch - sounds like a bug. Unspecified argument for the settings should mean
default, nor none. I'll check that later.
