Tested on the current Nightly which should include that fix and the SecurityError popup still shows.

My comment is for WPT failure.

I guess that your issue is out of scope of screen orientation API (https://w3c.github.io/screen-orientation/#locking-the-screen-orientation) spec. Blink is that "pre-lock conditions" includes fullscreen request is pending too. But Gecko doesn't. It will be https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1744288. We will fix it for web compatibility.
