I think this brings up a fine distinction. The behavior of disallowing a
descendent checkin applies to a leaf, not a branch. One cannot ``close''
a branch.  If you have 3  checkins in a branch  and the 3rd is  a closed
leaf, it  is still possible to  branch off of  both 1 and 2  and checkin
those changes as descendents of 1 or 2 respectively. Only descendents of
the leaf are not allowed.

Branching in Fossil  is really just a propagating tag  on descendents in
the DAG.
