Reopen & Invisible process?

When an application crashes in Mac OS X, there is a dialog inviting you
to report the problem to Apple (even if it's not an application made by
Apple), quit or reopen the process. While playing with Google Earth, I
experienced an application crash (100% reproducible)
On this particular occasion, when I clicked on Reopen, the application
was apparently correctly relaunched (window is visible) but:
- the Google Earth window was not accessible
- the Google Earth Application was not shown in the Dock as being
launched
- the Google Earth Application was not visible when you use the Command
+ Tab shortcut to switch between applications
- the Google Earth Application was not visible in the Force Quit
Applications window (Cmd+alt+Esc)
- the Google Earth window was not clickable
When I clicked the application in the Dock, another instance of the
application was launched (yet I just have one "file" for this
application).
When I launched a ps -aux in the Terminal, the process was correctly
listed. A "kill -1" killed it.
I tried to reproduce the issue with an application crashing only one
with no success.
So stupid question, how can a process be invisible to most OS services
(such as LaunchServices, ProcessManager (probably), etc.)?
