Say I open vim7's new super duper file explorer
"netrw" to browse some local directory. Say then I
decide I don't want to open any new file and just
want to go back to what I was doing. What would be
the standard way to do that?

You can also use ":e#" to edit the alternate buffer.

This is not a bug, nor close to a bug.
Opening the file explorer in a buffer is no different fundamentally
from opening a file in a buffer. The commands and behaviors are
different from those you use when editing a file, but it's still
just text in a buffer.
When you open file A, then open file B, then want to go back to A,
you don't do so by quitting B--you explicitly open A.
