That's a workable solution for this particular issue - but it seems convoluted advice to give to website authors. An extensible, semi-standard API is a lot less complicated. To answer Georg's question: no there is no bug for this. I'd have to go hunting to see who I need to get permission from to add something non-standard like this into the DOM actually...

Wordpress would like to detect Tor Browser so it doesn't perform the check and therefore doesn't pop the prompt. This would significantly reduce the number of prompts Tor Browser users are seeing.
I think a possibly good way to avoid the prompt might be a method Tom and Mark suggested before: block image extraction without showing the prompt unless the extraction attempt happens following a user interaction:

And indeed this would provide scripts a way of silently checking for canvas fingerprinting protection. On load, draw on a canvas and attempt to extract: if the returned image is blank, the page knows not to do it again after a user interaction.
