When _self is used the window name is changed to _self.
Let me explain it better:
   I have an iframe with the name "thisnamewillchange". Then, inside
this frame i do a window.open on _self. The name "thisnamewillchange"
is changed to _self and all my other links opens on a new window bacause the
frame with the name "thisnamewillchange" is not found (because its name is now
_self). Got it ? :) The iframe name should (obviously not change).

A test case:
