Really?
I couldn't reproduce the case.  I put long for loop between new WebSocket
and ws.onopen =, and/or ws.onclose, it will fire onopen and onclose as
expected after chrome showing the page is unresponsive.

 var ws = new WebSocket("ws://localhost:8880/websocket/tests/simple");
debug("wait");
for (var j = 0; j < 50000; j++) {
 for (var i = 0 ; i < 100000; i++) {
  ;
 }
}
debug("wait done");

ws.onopen = function()
{
    debug("Connected.");
};

ws.onmessage = function(messageEvent)
{
    debug("Received: '" + messageEvent.data + "'");
};

ws.onclose = function()
{
    debug("Closed.");
    endTest();
};
