Chrome windows can cancel a user's request to close the window by returning false from onunload. One example of when this is useful is when the window must run a save routine that has asynchronous parts. The script cancels the user's initial request, lets the asynchronous stuff do its work, and then calls window.close() when it's finished.
When the user chooses to close the app (e.g. via File -> Quit in Firefox) however, chrome windows aren't allowed to cancel the closing of the window. For me and my users, this results in data loss because the save script doesn't get a chance to run. Should this be something chrome windows are allowed to do?

Sorry, I got the details a bit wrong.
It's not onunload that can be canceled; it's ondialogcancel for dialogs. ondialogcancel isn't called when the app exits. It should be called and should be cancelable.
Summary: Chrome windows should be able to cancel window close on app exit → Chrome dialogs should have ondialogcancel called when the app exits and it should be cancellable

Is this a regression?

I don't know. The bug is present in Firefox 2, at least.
