I can confirm that it also exists in the latest Trunk, so the Version description should be changed to denote this.

This is probably related to bug 115450, but it's slightly different in that one would think that the JVM would release its references to files once the applet is unloaded.

Ever confirmed: true
Agreed. The resources the specific (closed) applet was using should be released even if the JVM is left running.
This is probably related to Bug 156994, which seems to be fixed if you in fact have the latest version of the Java plugin, SE 6 Update 12 (and possibly even earlier, in SE 6 Update 10). http://www.java.com/en/download/ However, if you want the specific resources closed even while the JVM is still running, then I think that could still be an issue.
Can confirm this still exists as of 3.6 with Java 6 update 17. I can also now confirm it is not a Java exclusive issue. Using fckeditor's file manager (JavaScript) causes the same issue. Easiest way to test: upload an image, close the file manager tab, attempt to save over that image (ie: edit->save or save another file with that name/location). An error will be given stating that the file is in use even though it has been uploaded and the tab closed.
