Yes, this is a bug. When you close the window, it suffers a name loss (as in
The Spiriting Away of Sen and Chihiro). That's why the next time you can't
show window "main" (as there isn't such a called window).
The workaround, IIRC, is attaching a "will close" event to the window, then:
on will close theObject
set visible of theObject to false
return false
end will close
To show it:
set visible of window "blah" to true
