I had exactly the same problem when using the same technique. I think what's
happening is that the parent script is holding a reference to the window and
there is a circular reference between the timeout object and the script
object, so the script object never gets garbage-collected thus its window
ref is still valid. The way I solved this was to explicitly set the timeout
object's target to zero before forgetting it.
I'll be interested to hear if that works for you.
