4. window.close() works

Actual Results:  
The window finally closed, but only at step 4.

Expected Results:  
The window should have closed back at step 2.

Nice testcase!
Works in 20050730 build, so probably a regression from bug 296639.
However, this is probably a duplicate of bug 302889.
Please test again with the 20050802 nightly trunk build.
