Well, window.opener is conceptually a link from child to parent.
Can you give a valid use-case for adoption of the child to another
parent?

I don't really see why setting opener would be dangerous, so I
disagree that it should throw. Anyway, that is a different issue. What
I'm talking about is the built-in behaviour - the browser itself sets
window.opener in all popups, and there is currently no way to open a
popup that is prevented from changing the location of its opener.
(An exception is Opera applying a stricter security policy if the
opener is an https page so in this case popup can't set location of
its opener, but I'm not sure if the other UAs do this.)
