It's not immediately clear to me.

The name set by "window.open" persists across document loads  
normally, and this seems analogous.

But it does seem bad for a document to be able to set state that  
breaks the behavior of another document loaded subsequently.

Can you think of a way the existing browser behavior might be  
exploitable?

Conversely, do you have a proposal for what the behavior should be?

At the very least, the Window spec should not rule out clearing the  
name property on navigation.
