Is this by design?

There is no special handling of the home button event in any of the dialogs. The dialogs are hidden only by scattered calls throughout System to "hideCustomDialog"; it appears that in this case, the dialog hides because of sound_manager:

https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/blob/master/apps/system/js/sound_manager.js#L392-L397

I noted this inconsistency in my comment on bug 1219471.

[Marcus Cavanaugh [:mcav]]

Actually, it was :mhenretty who mentioned that, and this bug; my comment was related to other deficiencies of 'hideCustomDialog'.

Comment 5

[Tiffanie Shakespeare [:tif]]

From UX triage: 

System dialogues should not be dismissed via the home button. There are points when we need the user to make a decision which is done via the ok/cancel type buttons. Here, if the user doesn't want to install they can tap later.

Thanks for pinging the UX team!
