But that's not how it works.  It's not how it's ever worked.  If you  
have a finder window open that was opened by the system when the  
external whatever was mounted, regardless of where that window may end  
up pointing, it will close when the drive mount is ejected.

It worked like this in Tiger (Mount an image, copy the file to ~/ 
Applications, switch to your home folder, switch to ~/Applications.   
Select the new app, eject the mount.  Window goes away.
