It's sending information to parsoid.wmflabs.org, and for now that's intended behavior. We may change the way this information is collected later, but for now it lives on labs, where the Parsoid developers collect and analyze the information.
Even though Lukas's video shows a failed XHR request in the console, the data was most likely submitted successfully. This is because we use cross-domain AJAX to POST the data, and jQuery's attempt to read the response (which is empty anyway) is blocked because of same-origin restrictions, which causes the error you're seeing. At this point the information has already been submitted, though, so the error is a red herring. This behavior is clearly suboptimal and misleading, but it's a minor issue at this point. It's tracked as https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42974 .
