It does in Gecko's current implementation.

And looking at 
http://people.mozilla.org/~jorendorff/es6-draft.html#sec-runtime-semantics-forin-div-ofexpressionevaluation-abstract-operation 
that's because GetIterator is invoked on the result of ToObject(), so it 
should work per current spec.

Again, as currently specced it works, since Array.from invokes ToObject.
