--- Comment #2 from Rick Byers <rbyers at chromium.org> ---
Here's a simpler repro that demonstrates the problem more clearly: http://output.jsbin.com/mijefe

This seems likely to hit users in practice.  Eg. I click on links in my gmail that open new tabs, then one of them happens to spawn an alert box while it's in the background - boom of those tabs become unresponsive without any indication of which tab has the dialog box :-(
