One just ends the GUI process, the other ends the GUI, ends all the other
GUIs and exits the whole GRASS GIS session.

That's a bug.

It works for me on Ubuntu. The know issue is that it does not work on Mac
OS X.

If you want to debug it: The whole system is based on sending signals and
managed through GUI_PID and PID variables which you get from g.gisenv. It
lives in the following files:
gui/wxpython/lmgr/frame.py
gui/wxpython/core/utils.py
lib/init/grass.py
