I don't know of any websites unfortunately. I've cc'ed Boris who might know.
In general, if IE doesn't do it it seems unlikely that many sites depend on it.
Agreed on the latter.
On the former, it wouldn't be a problem for websites per se, but the
aliasing needs to happen when a page whose origin is a globally unique
identifier has an about:blank iframe. Or rather, the origin of the
iframe needs to be the _same_ globally unique identifier. In Gecko this
is implemented by simply using the same origin object for both.
Note that in IE the security model around about:blank is pretty weird
last I checked, so I'd want to see some pretty exhaustive tests before
changing Gecko behavior in web-facing about:blank.
