It seems Mozilla Suite 1.8a6 just closes itself after step 4, it doesn't crash
displaying a Talkback window or any other warning.

Yes, not a crash in Firefox 1.0. The window is simply closed. See the testcase
and think about what it means when windows are opened into the same tab. This is
another variant of bug 264395. I suppose I'll leave it open because it's kind of
interesting in its own right.

browser.link.open_newwindow=1 is no longer settable in the UI, and isn't a supported configuration.
