Unfortunately there really isn't anything we can do. If the website wants to block other browsers, it can. I can't even get in by spoofing my user agent.

FWIW, aparently web.whatsapp.com doesn't complain about the user agent string but about a missing IndexedDB JavaScript API, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/IndexedDB_API.

Maybe this bug should be edited to reflect that fact, right?

Does Midori implement the IndexedDB API?

If not, I don't think the bug is invalid, it's rather misdiagnosed.
