There are at least a couple of problems with this approach.

>From the user-privacy standpoint, if it's unacceptable to let the web page see
the autocompleted value while the user is typing in the field, then allowing
the web page to see the value when focus is lost from the field might be
equally unacceptable. The user could hit Tab or click elsewhere before noticing
the autocompleted value, and now it is exposed to the page. Worse, the page
could focus another element via JavaScript and have the value exposed without
any user action.

>From the UI standpoint, it seems problematic that the page might behave
differently though look exactly the same depending on whether the text in the
focused field was typed or auto-completed.
