remote-control new tab with browser window unmapped forcubly restarts browser

Project Member Reported by karlramm@google.com, Jan 12 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/55.0.2883.87 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. start linux chrome with a window manager that unmaps iconified/hidden windows and leaves them that way (I use xmonad), and unmap/iconify/hide the window
2. google-chrome http://url/  to open a new tab
3. wait for the timeout

What is the expected behavior?
A tab should be opened in my browser for me to catch up with later.

What went wrong?
The browser restarts, leaving the google-chrome invocation thats you thought was just a remote control as the main browser process.

If you manage to switch to/map the relevant browser window before the timeout, the tab opens and everything is fine.

If you have multiple browser windows, ones that aren't where the tab is opening seem to be blocked.

Crashed report ID: 

How much crashed? Whole browser

Is it a problem with a plugin? No 

Did this work before? Yes 54 I believe.

You are probably looking for a change made after 414803 (known good), but no later than 414808 (first known bad).
