Antoine Pitrou added the comment:

close() wouldn't terminate the underlying process, so the process would still 
exist (and wouldn't easily be stoppable from Python anymore) if you were to 
call close() before terminate() or join().

Perhaps we should instead mandate people call join() before close()?
