Hi Matt,

Notice that essentially the same problem occurs when a dialog/page is
triggered by an external event. User navigates the UI meanwhile eg. a
network event triggers a dialog => PageStack is busy so it just bails
out and user misses the dialog. As a workaround, waiting until
PageStack is no longer busy gets pretty ugly.
