Comment(by crschmidt):

 Closed #2515 as a dupe, but it has more details: specifically, the problem
 is in unselect() calling unhighlight() which expects the feature to have a
 layer, but unselect also has other events; I *think* what this might mean
 is that we have to bail early in the unselect code if the feature doesn't
 have a layer... but at that point I *think* that selectedFeatures might be
 bunk, because it will have a feature in it that no longer exists... I'm
 not sure exactly how deep into this rabbithole we want to go.

 Note that this behavior is *not* a popup-specific problem: any
 selectfeature code that calls unselect on a feature which has been removed
 from the layer will fail.
