[mediacapture-main] getUserMedia: spec does not define what happens when browser gUM dialog disappears completely

jnoring has just created a new issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-main:

== getUserMedia: spec does not define what happens when browser gUM 
dialog disappears completely ==
Currently, some browsers--namely Firefox--will remove the gUM prompt 
if a browser swaps to a different tab, or goes to another application.
  The problem is the page receives no notification about this dialog 
going away, so processing in the page is generally hung waiting for a 
success/error promise or callback to fire.

The current spec doesn't appear to address this (I could be wrong 
about this). If the gUM prompt goes away for any reason without user 
interaction, should the calling page be informed of this?
