Interfering with focus is what breaks autocompletion. (This drawback is explained in the paper itself.)

Personally, based on my experiences thus far I'd put it down to a web page that's interfering with autocomplete or blocking default actions (like pasting) in the name of "security".

IOW, web designers have already set the precedent for broken autocomplete, no keylogger required.
