Consistency with other tabs opening in the background is fine, but I must agree with Evan on suggesting that the New Tab page should clearly be an exception. Since you can always open an NTP and there are so many ways to do it, you would never want to queue any NTPs in the background, and the only time you ever need an NTP is if you need it *right now*, so it should open in the foreground. This is a clearly needed exception.
And actually, my question about tabs opening in the background should be generalized to Chrome's default of opening tabs in the background. It is not fine for the 50% of users who do want tabs to open in the foreground. And if Google has testing that says the otherwise, I would like to see an explicit statement saying so and preferably with quantified stats please.
