Okay, I tracked down the problem, and it is now fixed in the git
repository.

The window.close() call generates a DOMWindowClose event; the default
action Mozilla performs in response to this somehow messes up the
focus.

The solution is to add a capturing handler for this event that calls
preventDefault(), to prevent Mozilla from doing this, and also kills the
buffer if the user preference variable `allow_browser_window_close' is set
to true (as it is by default).
