Research direction

Start by reproducing the shown Blob and FileSaver.saveAs call in Safari 12.0.1, then compare it with the browsers and Safari versions that work. Read the FileSaver.js implementation involved in creating or opening the blob URL; done means identifying and resolving the reported Safari-specific failure, with the behavior verified against the error.
