User Agent stylesheets will load image resources and hold onto them beyond a page navigation because the parsed stylesheets are retained in memory. This means that the leak detection in Blink will incorrectly identify flag them as a resource leak and the tests will break.
This is blocking the new media controls work from landing as they use images in UA CSS.
The proposed fix is to count the number of resources originating from UA CSS that should be long lived, and subtract them from the total.
Marking them as a "LeakExpectation" is also not suitable as it may hide actual leaks.
