I do not know why it is done, I only think it is done on MacOSX too..

What do you mean by "clean out the delegate" ?

I did an override in the controller's setWindow method and printed it 
out. I indeed get two calls, one at open time, one at close time:

2014-02-05 01:21:05.141 GNUMail[5089] Controller setWindow! <EditWindow: 
0x2bf325c8>Number: 21 Title: Window, Window
2014-02-05 01:21:24.086 GNUMail[5089] Controller setWindow! (null), (null)
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

however since I get it called with null, I suppose it is cleaning up, 
that is removing the window from the controller. Nothing I can "clean 
up" in null, reset its delegate.
