pfeldman and I discussed this in IRC.  Firefox survives without looking at the opener, so hopefully we'll be able to as well.  The problem is that the opener property isn't dispositive w.r.t. whether someone else is going to interact with this document.  Any pages that have the behavior pfeldman is worried about are already broken in Firefox, so it sounds like we should be ok breaking them as well (he's opening another bug on that topic).
