Hi,

It has been a long while since I worked on this, but here are the 
basics.  I'm using CEDET from sourceforge for reference.

There is a function `semantic-symref-cleanup-recent-buffers-fcn' which 
is setup to run in a post-command-hook after getting some tag results. 
The function `semantic-symref-result-get-tags' gets tags out of a 
results buffer, and will auto-close the items in the list if the input 
argument `open-buffers' is specified as nil, otherwise it leaves them 
open, but sets the variable to nil.

Thus, I'm unsure how you have a situation where the variable has a 
value, but the buffers are still open.

It may be that the 'occasionally' in your statement means that an error 
got thrown in the post command hook.  Starting there, perhaps 
instrumenting the cleanup function to detect errors might help debug 
what the problem is.
