Alternatively, we might simply skip variables in Dataset.where if they don't have overlapping dimensions. The logic gets a good deal more complex, though. Currently where is a thin wrapper around np.where.

Would skipping variables without the dimension be preferable? Or do people expect the broadcast?

We recently had a discussion re skipping variables that don't have the dimension supplied using .reduce, although that was for a clearer example, where broadcasting would be less relevant - e.g. rolling along a dimension
