It looks for me simply a "misleading condition name".
If NS_ERROR_XPC_CANT_*CREATE*_PROP_ON_WN, no problem...
If such condition name, it's apparent that fault is in JS code who requestd property value change even though the property is undefined(i.e. non-existent), if "creation of property via wrapped object" is not supported.
And, "why undefined is returned even though property should exist" is different problem from this bug, as seen in bug 831664.
