InfoWindow no longer displays content and exceptions are thrown

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Found in Release:
1.0 RC

Detailed description:
When you run the following code, click a few times on the map to place icons.
If you click the icons one by one, you'll see "test" appearing inside the info 
windows.
At some point when the info window is open, click anywhere on the map (anywhere 
there's no icon yet). This closes 
the open info window. From this point on, all info windows you try to open will 
be empty and JS exceptions will be 
thrown (Object doesn't support this property or method).

final MapWidget map = new MapWidget();
map.setPixelSize(400, 400);
RootPanel.get().add(map);

map.addMapClickHandler(new MapClickHandler() {
    public void onClick(MapClickEvent event) {
        if (event.getOverlay() != null) {
            return;
        }
        final Marker m = new Marker(event.getLatLng());
        m.addMarkerClickHandler(new MarkerClickHandler() {
            public void onClick(MarkerClickEvent event) {
                map.getInfoWindow().open(m, new InfoWindowContent(new Label("test")));
            }
        });
        map.addOverlay(m);
    }
});

Workaround if you have one:
Nope.

Observation: It might be helpful to distinguish between 2 situations. Follow 
the 
instructions precisely.

Put 2 markers on the map. Do nothing else.

1. Open the info window on the first marker. Click anywhere on the map. From 
this 
point on, you can do whatever you want; nothing goes wrong.

2. Reload the page and open the info window on the first marker. Open the info 
window 
on the second marker. Click anywhere on the map. From now on you'll get 
exceptions.

I guess this means there's some cleanup code not properly executed in case 2.

I believe this is a dup of issue 156 and issue 181.
