Actually... this makes sense. I ended up doing the same thing in my
code, but failed to attribute my success to that.
When reading through the dojo code itself, there's two things I noted.
First, the content pane's destroy() method inherits from dijit._Widget,
and that method does not do a destroyRecursive() -- leaving any dijits
inside still intact, but no longer attached anywhere in the DOM (this is
why your method of connecting to destroy() and calling that works).
Second, I discovered that destroyRecursive() has a note that says, "this
will not work with dijit._Templated widgets" - and while ContentPane may
not be one, you may have issues if children of ContentPane are.
