Yes, because you're calling out of the context of the Miaw, and even if the
stage does the dirty work, it kills the very thing that's in the process of
executing, sort of pulling the rug out from under its feet, when it's not
done with the call.
The only way around it is to defer the closing until you're operating in
the context of another movie. In theory, any other movie (even another
miaw) would be safe to make the closing, as long as the movie being killed
is not the one currently executing. For practical reasons, though, it's
silly to have another miaw do it. Might as well have the stage do it. Or
rather, whatever movie caused it to launch should also be responsible for
shutting it down (though that's more organizational than technical). But
not the thing that's executing itself.
