InfoWindow.open() Doesn't work with Marker argument

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Found in Release:
1.1.0

Detailed description:
When trying to use the InfoWindow I cannot call open() with the Marker as the 
argument.  It works if I extract the Latitude/Longitude pair from the Marker 
but then the Marker no longer owns the window.

The code I've tried: 

final Marker m = new Marker(pos, GetMarkerOpts(icon.type));
m.addMarkerClickHandler(new MarkerClickHandler() {
    public void onClick(MarkerClickEvent event) {
        InfoWindow info = map.getInfoWindow();
        info.open(event.getSender(), new InfoWindowContent(icon.message));
    }
});

I have also tried substituting event.getSender() with the final Marker m object 
but I get the same error either way.
I get the following error in Hosted Mode:

com.google.gwt.core.client.JavaScriptException: (TypeError): Cannot read

Workaround if you have one:
Use the LatLng function overload instead.  Works but doesn't provide proper 
ownership to the Marker that called it.

I got a similar error when I added a sample to the InfoWindowDemo class in 
HelloMaps.
The problem was that the marker needed to be added to the map before calling 
InfoWindow.open(marker, ...)

This patch updates the sample and the javadoc.

I had a similar problem as original poster, and in my case it was because the 
Icon used during Marker creation wasn't initialized correctly. My 
initialisation code was:
    MarkerOptions options = MarkerOptions.newInstance();
    options.setIcon(Icon.newInstance("some_image_url"));
    marker = new Marker(point, options);
something is missing in the icon, resulting in the above mentioned exception. 
The following change fixed the problem:
    MarkerOptions options = MarkerOptions.newInstance();
    Icon icon = Icon.DEFAULT_ICON;
    icon.setImageUrl("some_image_url");
    options.setIcon(icon);
    marker = new Marker(point, options);
