If the window is already getting properly destroyed when you part, then 
the problem may be the delay between the time that the PART message is 
issued to the server and the time that you receive the PART message 
back.

ircII had a hack that would let you do something immediately after a 
local server command completes (see /help wait in an ircII client for 
more details).  As far as I know, irssi doesn't have the same hack, 
although it does have a WAIT command.

This alias of mine does something entirely different, but I think you 
should be able to borrow the same principle:

Aliases:
wb         exec screen -X fit;timer add screenfit 1 1 win bal

(This implementation needs http://irssi.org/scripts/scripts/timer.pl.  I 
wonder if irssi's builtin WAIT would work?)

hope this helps,
