This issue is caused by this commit 4338c8d#diff-5a2abece6f8c2495d8242daa40245434L156
which changed:

value: MUST_USE_PROPERTY | HAS_SIDE_EFFECTS,

to

value: 0,

It looks like the key is the HAS_SIDE_EFFECTS bit.
Changing the value, even if it's identical to the existing value, knocks off browser helpers in Edge.

I see that HAS_SIDE_EFFECTS was removed in a later version so that's something to account for.

Related to #6406 \cc @jimfb.

@lPadier I've opened a PR at #8266.

Any progress on this bug? The PR to fix it seems to be hanging around for a while and has not yet been merged.

@aweary @jquense We should get test fixture coverage on this. It would be our first browser specific test case!

is there any workaround for this issue?
