With multiple POP accounts, get new mails notified, click on the system tray icon

In JavaScript console you get 
Error: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80070057
(NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE) [nsIRDFService.GetResource]"  nsresult: "0x80070057
(NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE)"  location: "JS frame ::
chrome://messenger/content/msgMail3PaneWindow.js :: SelectFolder :: line 1421" 
data: no]
Source File: chrome://messenger/content/msgMail3PaneWindow.js
Line: 1421

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. send your self a message
2. wait until notification happens
3. open JavaScript console
4. click on System Tray icon

Actual Results:  
Mail 3 Pane window doesn't always get the focus (depends on which account is
active in it / which account has received the new message ?)
Exception is thrown in JS console

Expected Results:  
Always focus, no exception

The focus issue is difficult to isolate, but it looks that if current mail
account  is not the account receiving the new message, it doesn't focus on the
window.

Exception is always thrown, even if a single message comes on in on the current
mail account

Replicated with

Achieved this by having a new message arrive to one account while the 3pane is 
focused on a different account.  Window did raise (come forward) when the icon 
was clicked.

Oliver, what do you mean by "*may* open mail3pane window" -- isn't the window 
supposed to be opened (or raised) by clicking on the icon?  Do you mean 
"*may not* open ... window"?

Note that if there is no mail/news window open when the biff occurs, the window 
opens and there is no JS exception.  However, if the icon is not cleared and the 
mail/news window lowered, clicking again will result in this same error.

I am not seeing this JS exception being thrown any longer, trying to reproduce 
my comment 2.

Olivier Vit, can you still see the symptom?
