I'd love to see the testcase.  It doesn't work over here, and code 
inspection says it shouldn't work.  If it works, it's a security bug.

Privileged code is either part of the browser user interface (e.g. an 
extension) or code that has been granted UniversalXPConnect privileges 
via enablePrivilege.  I'm pretty sure we have some documentation on the 
latter that's findable via Google, but I'd have to look for it.
