The spec seems to require that:
http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/DOM-Level-3-Events/html/DOM3-Events.html#event-type-blur

A user agent must dispatch this event when an event target loses focus. The
focus shall be taken from the element before the dispatch of this event
type. This event type is similar to focusout, but is dispatched after focus
is shifted, and does not bubble.
