Why would it be considered a violation?

If the modal dialog does not allow interaction with the HTML document
content it is scoped to, then it is doing its job no? It should not
disallow interaction with UI outside of the document (such as browser UI)

As a reference, Chrome implements the HTML5 dialog element
<http://www.w3.org/TR/html51/semantics.html#the-dialog-element>, when in a
modal state the user can only interact with the modal dialog content of the
document, but is able to interact with the browser UI.

If you open http://s.codepen.io/stevef/debug/dPxgZq? in chrome , you can
check the keyboard interaction of its dialog element implementation.
