Not sure on that part, but what's going on here is that in the new 
window you have

   (window.Node.prototype == opener.Node.prototype) == false

As a result, the nodes don't have the showMe property (since the script 
is running in the JS context of the opened window).

What's the last mozilla build in which this worked, do you know (1.6a, 
1.6b, 1.5, etc)?

Ccing jseng in case brendan or someone happens to know offhand why this 
behavior changed.
