No, it's a John bug :)  I also had tried that, and this is what I get with TkAgg:

In [4]: fig=figure()

In [5]: plot(range(10))
Out[5]: [<matplotlib.lines.Line2D instance at 0x4110494c>]

In [6]: close(fig)

/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/matplotlib/pylab.py in close(*args)
     611         elif isinstance(arg, Figure):
     612             for manager in _pylab_helpers.Gcf.get_all_fig_managers():
--> 613                 if manager.figure==arg:
     614                     _pylab_helpers.Gcf.destroy(manager.num)
     615         else:

AttributeError: FigureManagerTkAgg instance has no attribute 'figure'

Which is why I thought it might be the other way around.  So this may be a 
backend-specifig bug.

But still a bug :)

Cheers,
