Unfortunately not. Neither with my personal user configuration (which
mainly preloads the previous session) nor a virgin user configuration.

In case you would like to reproduce this yourself, I uploaded a
(probably unsigned) conkeror package with /usr/share/bug/conkeror
enabled (including not yet committed changes) to
http://noone.org/debian/conkeror_0.9.1+git100131-2_all.deb /
http://noone.org/debian/conkeror_0.9.1+git100131-2.dsc

You should be able to easily reproduce the problem by starting to file
a bug against conkeror with either reportbug or debian-el's M-x
debian-bug in Emacs. If a conkeror window pops up and reportbug or
Emacs doesn't continue until you close it, the problem still exists.

Of course, just calling

  /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.1/reportbug-helper-script conkeror

also reproduces the problem, too, but throws some (expected) "3:
Bad file descriptor" errors after you closed the conkeror window. :-)

I though do not mind if you instead prefer to let me test your
patches if that's more convenient to you. :-)

P.S.: Will be at FOSDEM this weekend, so I may lag answering mails a
little bit more than usual from Thurday evening to Monday evening...

		Regards, Axel
