This is a UI fail.   The browser should never display that alert, any more than 
it should display an alert to click through proposing that you might want to 
try a different web site if the one you were trying to reach were simply 
unreachable.

Of course, I realize that this makes captive portals more difficult, but 
enabling this particular UI fail simply in order to allow captive portals to 
work is a very expensive solution to an easily solved problem (see 
http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-wkumari-dhc-capport/).
