I remember now the big reason I didn't want to try to close the open window from the parent window. If the user refreshes the parent window, the pointer to the popup disappears, so if a user gets the popup, leaves it up, hits another link, goes to another page, the function still exists, but the pointer to the window is gone, so it doesn't know how to close the open window before reopening it.
