Bad idea!

OOo always tries to put a window opened with target "_blank" to the
foreground. If it really appears there and *when it does* is a decision
of the window manager.
It seems that on your system the WM brings the window to front
asynchronously, but before the window comes to front you create the
messagebox and it gets the current front window as its parent. But of
course the messagebox gets the focus so it sends your new window back
before it can come to front.
Which window manager do you use?
