Indeed it does not. Ye gods. :)

Looking at some of the obscurely named files in my profile, I see a lot
of chrome URLs with suspicious names like
'chrome://pippki/content/editcerts.js' in XUL.mfasl.

Ok, I just made a copy of my profile and launched a new epiphany with
'epiphany -p --profile=/tmp/testprofile' and could not reproduce the
problem!

Then I restarted my regular copy of epiphany and the problem is now
gone. I thought I restarted epiphany after upgrading epiphany-gecko, but
maybe there was another window left open and minimised on another
workspace that I didn't notice, preventing it from actually quitting
when I closed its last window. :(
