I searched the spec for a few key words, but I didn't find it.  Can you give me
a pointer?

Maybe it's more simple than I thought.  Here are a couple test cases:

Safari 3.1 seems a bit confused.  I recommend trying one of the nightly builds
instead.  IE7 seems to avoid this case by not letting you call closures from
old frames.  Firefox 3 seems pretty aggressive about clearing out the old
frame's objects (maybe to help garbage collection?).  Opera 9.5 throws an
uncatchable exception, which kind of messes up the tests.
