> I think the difference in behavior here must have some other cause.

Yes, you're right.  The real issue is that the window.opener property is being
reset after navigation, see:

http://crypto.stanford.edu/~abarth/research/webkit/gmail/open.html

When you follow a link in Gmail, they first call window.open(""), and then
document.write content into the open window that nulls the opener and navigates
the window to the destination.  WebKit is resetting the opener during
navigation.
