I've never seen that, would be surprised it happens, since they don't seem to carry a reference count, but I guess if it really is the case you should be able to get around it easily enough by setting the property to 0 (or anything else). Are you really sure you're "forgetting" it? Keep in mind that if you're looking at the windowList by making a variable with the window reference in it, that it will show up in the window list (this is the way the windowlist works, and has nothing to do with objects) regardless of whether the window exists or not.
Frankly I think the windowList is a joke - it's possible to get listings for windows, that if you check their name you can get it, and the windowPresent() function says they're there, but if you check another property (like visible or rect or title) then it throws an error. I just end up making my own window list and managing that, I'm so disgusted with the way Director lets you "manage" MIAWs.
