"Ignore download attribute for cross origin downloads"
Landed in 65.0.3323.0

Looks like the intended behavior, quoting  issue 714373 :

  To avoid what is essentially user-mediated cross-origin information leakage, 
  Blink will start to ignore the presence of the download attribute on anchor elements with cross origin attributes.
