Description Ryan Sleevi 2014-05-19 20:40:32 UTC 
The specification for handling "Import Key" for Diffie-Hellman ( https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webcrypto-api/raw-file/tip/spec/Overview.html#dh-operations ) states for Import Key

"If format is "pkcs8"":
  2. Let privateKeyInfo be the result of running the parse a privateKeyInfo algorithm over keyData
  3. If an error occurred whiled parsing, then return an error named OperationError

However, this differs from all other cases, where the error returned from a parse failure is a DataError.
