WPT will start passing the following tests when the flag is enabled:
https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:third_party/blink/web_tests/TestExpectations?q=file:TestExpectations%20virtual%5C%2Fbackdrop-filter-mirror-edge

wpt.fyi does not show this because the feature is controlled by a flag
outside of blink and so couldn't be associated with
--experimental-web-platform-features which wpt.fyi uses.

> sample pixels outside the backdrop edges by duplicating the pixels at the
> edge. This however, results in extreme flickering of content as it enters
> the backdrop edge. The latest spec change mirrors the backdrop when
