Error in web console after compiling ClojureScript with target :webworker, release >= 1.10.738

When running this example:

https://github.com/kommen/clojurescript-webworker-demo

using ClojureScript release 1.10.738 or newer, I receive this error message in the web console:

ReferenceError: document is not defined dom.js:2499:3

With release 1.10.597, the message "hello from the web worker!" was still printed correctly.

Is there an easy solution to make the newer release work with webworkers, or is it better to keep using the older release for now?
