Speaking of ways around things, it has been noticed by a few that VbV can be derailled by popup blocking software.

This issue is also mentioned in the Verified by VISA Q&A:

Q: I have a pop-up killer installed on my computer. Will Verified by Visa work for me?

A: Many participating online stores have implemented Verified by Visa so that your Verified by Visa password window will appear in a pop-up, or new browser window. If you have software installed on your computer that automatically closes browser windows that are not generated by you, then this may also prevent your Verified by Visa password window from appearing. You will need to disable the pop-up killer software when you make purchases at participating online stores.

So, it appears to me that if a popup killer breaks the process, the shop/billing company has created an implementation that is to blame because it relies on popups. In other words: you can implement it without using them..
