The doorhanger appears in the opener window, just not in the popup where it is expected.

(Quoting Matthew N. [:MattN] from bug 631802 comment #12)

I think the a possible solution is to also show the doorhanger in a
dismissed state (possibly after a delay of 1-2s) in the popup and remove the
doorhanger from the opener after a timeout. The dismissed state and
possible delay in the popup is to avoid a distraction in case the window is
going to close immediately after submission. Removing the doorhanger from
the opener after a delay handles the case where the popup doesn't close so
that a doorhanger doesn't linger there unexpectedly. If an action is taken
on a doorhanger in either window, remove the doorhanger in the other.
