jcjones has just created a new issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/webauthn:

== Define what happens when the Document loses focus ==
(Related to #292)

If an operation such as makeCredential or getAssertion is in progress,
 and the UA changes focus (e.g., the user switches tabs), what should 
happen?

I believe it is the case that at least some U2F implementations cancel
 all operations in-flight and return errors, to avoid potential 
phishing or denial of service attacks. If that's correct, we should 
define that behavior for WebAuthn as well.
