Thank you for the bug report.

I think that this is unintentional (and a consequence of delaying a print() that's called from an inline script), yet this still looks like a correct behavior.

If XHR progress events were displayed under a modal print dialog, that would cause many undesirable effects (e.g. what if event handler tried to do a window.close() while the window was being printed). And if we stopped progress events, that would cause correctness issues on websites that expect them to be handled in a timely manner.
