<pre>Here's a simpler repro that demonstrates the problem more clearly: <a href="http://output.jsbin.com/mijefe">http://output.jsbin.com/mijefe</a>
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 :-(</pre>
