Safari requesting url `undefined` during image cleanup

Hello. I noticed that my server was getting hit with tons of requests for /undefined. Although the response was only 238 bytes, the great number of the requests per second (less than 60) was adding up. I tracked the problem down to BrowserCodeReader.ts on line 1161 during image cleanup in the _destroyImageElement function. Before removing the image src attribute, it is assigned the value of undefined. In the Safari web browser on macOS, this results in a request as if undefined is an expected resource. I do not see this behavior in Google Chrome.
