We are seing many such exception during tests:
error: An exception occurred.
Traceback (most recent call last):

    if (window && window == frame.contentWindow) {
TypeError: can't access dead object

It happens to be related to just one test badly written:
  test-content-symbiont:test:constructing symbiont && validating API

A frame was used but never unregistered from the created Symbiont.
