Comment(by gk):

 One additional problem with getting always a modal dialog locking your
 normal browser session is the possibility that users are entering real
 authentication tokens due to confusion. Thus, we should avoid showing a
 modal dialog here at all. Rather a notification box indicating the problem
 and including a button to show the auth request would be optimal here. As
 a side effect: This setup would help as well to include a respective
 feature in an anon test as it wouldn't disrupt it any longer as the modal
 dialog does at the moment.
