Closed indicator temporarily disappears after editing closed question

Question

Here is my entry for the Lowest-Priority-Bug-of-the-Week Competition:

Sometimes the "[closed]" marker disappears temporarily, after editing the closed question.

Steps to Reproduce:

Find a closed question, as indicated by the "[closed]" marker after the title.
Edit the closed question, and hit Save Edits.
Observe the title of the question no longer has the "[closed]" marker after the title. This is the bug. It should still be present.
Observe the question is still actually closed, because it has the option to vote for reopen.
Refresh the page.
Observe the title now has the "[closed]" marker appended to it.

Repro

So this is a problem with the javascript editor not appending the [closed] marker onto the title. — jcolebrand, Commented Oct 28, 2011 at 2:00
@jcolebrand: Ah, in that case I should mention: I am using Chrome, and I have a number of popular StackExchange-related userscripts installed. — Oddthinking, Commented Oct 28, 2011 at 2:03
I just disabled all my userscripts, and confirmed the problem still occurs. — Oddthinking, Commented Oct 28, 2011 at 2:05
just because you disabled your userscripts doesn't negate what I said. It could still be the javascript editor, which is supplied by SEI as part of the page, nothing to do with you. — jcolebrand, Commented Oct 28, 2011 at 3:12
@jcolebrand, sorry for being unclear. I did understand that - I didn't intend for my statement to be perceived as a contradiction of yours. Your explanation introduced the risk (at least from the 10,000ft view of the architecture which is all that I have) that some userscript was interfering with the javascript editor, so I wanted to rule that out. — Oddthinking, Commented Oct 28, 2011 at 3:52
I can replicate this, and I am not using UserScripts. The browser I am using is Safari 5.1.1 on Mac OS X 10.7.2. — avpaderno, Commented Oct 28, 2011 at 10:29
@Oddthinking ahhh, I was confused myself. Thanks for the clarification. I hadn't even thought of that, so +2 kudos from me, instead of the +1 you had before sir ;-) — jcolebrand, Commented Oct 28, 2011 at 16:47

Fixed, the question state suffix now works as expected.
