Details

Simply doing nothing when window.focus or window.blur are called would mitigate the problem of popunder windows not being blocked by the popup blocker. (See bug 389672.) I have not found a single site, where this API is used from something other than popunders. If you know of actual, in-the-wild cases where this API is used and needed for functionality, please list them below.
I think bug 369306 got the heuristic for when to allow window.focus/blur right.
