Thanks for a bug report. I was unable to reproduce it for the first time, only after I set the browser window to close automatically when the shown message is forwarded/replied to.

I moved this upstream as [1]. Please see [1] for any further updates. If possible, please CC yourself there, in case upstream developers will have additional questions.

If I change the close message window preference to 'ask' or 'never' then the issue is not present.
