Description
If a navigation happens while a script is getting executed the script would always timeout if there isn't an early break out. As of now there is nothing listed in the Webdriver spec:
https://w3c.github.io/webdriver/#execute-script#x13-2-executing-script
With Marionette/geckodriver we currently return a JavascriptError.

Research direction
Read the WebDriver specification's “execute a function body” section first, then compare its stated behavior with the reported Marionette/geckodriver result. Done means the specification explicitly defines how navigation interrupts script execution and the resulting error behavior.
