Thanks for trying to grok my complex question ...

Here's the crux of the question:
What would you expect to happen when you close the TC (or the tab within 
the TC) hosting a shell?

a) you expect it to terminate the shell and go away w/o ability to 
re-open the window.
b) you expect it to close the window which you can bring back up again 
later.

If you expect (b) then we have a problem because the only way to bring 
(accidentally
closed) io windows back up is via the progress bar. But that forces you to
see a progress bar for a shell which we seem to agree is undesirable.
