I was in a rush this morning, but expected it to come out in some of the many threads on this and similar topics, that although OW and Safari both use WebKit, they use different versions of WebKit, and, as I understand it, there are issues with the version that OW uses which apparently seem not to be there with the (older) version that Safari uses.
