Quitting standalone, is this a bug?

Hi everyone,
after another round of research I have found that I am not the first to
stumble on this bug....

I do wonder if this bug is more prevalent than just the two of us.
In order to find this bug you have to quit, cancel quit, and then quit
your standalone a second time.  You won't catch this bug in the
development environment.  How many standalone developers have actually
tested their apps in this way?  One more thing... I do not have
access to a windows system, so for all I know this bug is specific
to the mac.
