Thanks, I think this is best fixed in the documentation.  (done)

In some cases it is important to prevent messages from being sent to
objects that no longer exist.  It's a good thing to use window destroy
notification anyway, so that the model can adapt to dead windows, etc.

For one thing, simpleObserverBug doesn't have calls to
setWindowGeometryRecordName, so it can't save window positions.
