I think this makes sense actually. For resources not controlled by the
document it might depend on HSTS caching (did we visit that domain at
some point) whether or not we would block/taint which seems extra
weird.

Mike, should we update Fetch / Mixed Content so that blocking happens
before any HSTS updates to the URL? What about CSP?
