Granting permission, yes. But just asking for permission?
If the asking for permission can happen in a context in which the user can't tell what's being asked for, it's a really bad idea...
I say it's less annoying because (in Chrome, anyway), the infobar that asks for permission to be granted isn't modal, and the user can continue with her work.
This is the one reason that permission requests don't have that higher bar yet, yes.
The UA should make it as clear as possible what the consequences are of granting persistent permissions
That's really difficult if the site asks for a bunch of permissions in a flurry.
