I solved it this way (using c#). It is fast and hasn't failed once.

public static void WaitForModal(this RemoteWebDriver driver)
{
    using (driver.NoImplicitWait())
    {
        var wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30));
        wait.Until(d => d.FindElements(By.ClassName("modal-backdrop").Count == 0);
    }
}

NoImplicitWait is used to temporarily disable the driver implicit wait.

public static NoImplicitWait NoImplicitWait(this IWebDriver driver)
{
    return new NoImplicitWait(driver);
}

public sealed class NoImplicitWait : IDisposable
{
    private readonly IWebDriver _driver;

    public NoImplicitWait(IWebDriver driver)
    {
        _driver = driver;
        _driver.Manage().Timeouts().ImplicitlyWait(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(0));
    }

    public void Dispose()
    {
        _driver.Manage().Timeouts().ImplicitlyWait(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30));
    }
}
