The same thing happens to me, with both shell- and ruby-based wmiirc's. Using snap20070218.1, I can pretty reliably get wmii to stop responding to key events after I close firefox, when firefox is the last window with the current tag. After I click a different tag in the LeftBar, everything is fine.
Another thing: when I close a gaim (yes, I know) window, whether through Mod1-shift-c, File->quit or "wmiir xwrite ... kill", wmii ends, and I'm tossed back to the X display manger. This happens with the stock wmiirc and my hacked-up ruby wmiirc. Other than those two bugs, snap20070218.1 seems solid to me.
