Now that you mention it, I also came across a hotel meta search site that would just open popups with your search in a ton of other hotel search engines. I guess the behave we decide for depends on the goal:

To create a pop-under, you need to be able to open two sites, so to block pop-unders we need a limit of one.

To limit the amount of annoyance a webpage can cause, we can pick whatever number of windows we deem acceptable.

Thinking about it, to block pop unders, it would also be enough to limit windows to one kind, i.e. either a pop-up or a new tab.

A pop-under is usually created by first creating a pop-up, then opening a new tab in the original window (which raises the original window and turns the pop-up into a pop-under) and then closing the tab again. By only allowing one kind of new windows per user gesture, at least this scheme to create pop-unders also doesn't work.
