From my testing of several hardware U2F implementations, the test-of-user-presence (touching the button) unlocks the device for an amount of time. During this time multiple authentication/registration will succeed without further user interaction. Even without this behavior though, hardware tokens don't indicate which site your authenticating with. Malware could just make an authentication request right as some user action triggers a legitimate authentication request.
