Update:

I got back the following answer, and it makes perfect sense:

"Digging around it looks like we added our window unload event unbinding
logic in 1.2.2 - and I bet that that's what was causing the problems. We
actually fixed this in the latest nightlies (only unbind in IE) so this
problem should be resolved in the upcoming 1.4 release."

Great news for everybody keen on keeping focus...
