If a window is opened more than once with the same name and then the name of the window is changed, later views of the source of all the open windows all show the same source - that of the window after the first name change.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. use window.open to open a window named "window1".
2. use window.name = "window2" to change the name.
3. use window.open to again open a window named "window1".
4. use window.name = "window3" to change the name.
5. examine the source for both open windows. they both appear to be named "window2" in the source, even though both windows are, in fact, separate windows with the correct names (window2 and window3).
