Comment (by wpdavis):

 I agree that erring on the side of showing the modal is better. Anytime
 there is a submit button, there is the potential to get kicked to the
 login page and lose any edits you made, and that is _always_ frustrating.

 The absolute worst case is that somebody will have to stop what they're
 doing again and log back in. If I'd done that on the network page the
 modal would have gone away and I could have accessed the code. I think
 it's worth fixing in the few areas that there might be an action someone
 would want to continue even after they've been logged out, but to be
 honest, those are few and far between.

 For that reason, I think a close box is a little extraneous — are there
 any circumstances in which someone would _not_ want to log in to continue?
 Would that person really not know how to delete the element out of the DOM
 using dev tools?

 Idea: What if we had the heartbeat on all form submits in the admin? Delay
 the form submit until we're sure the person is logged in. If they're not,
 show the modal and submit the form after a successful login (or prompt
 them to resubmit).
