Ah, I see that CORS doesn't require the network connection to be
aborted even when the "cross-origin request status" reaches "network
error". So it does indeed seem like all that's needed is for HTML to
say that CORS should be used while fetching the image, and that if the
resulting "cross-origin request status" is "success", then tainting
doesn't happen when said image is drawn into a canvas.
