Attached is a patch (against current trunk) that implements the above.
Christopher, could you give it a quick review? I can provide some test
if inclusion into main branch is conceivable.

Kaka, to get the closebox working, you can try applying my patch,
implementing your own "onclick" callback and passing that callback to
the text layer constructor. See the markersTextLayer.html example.
Your onclick callback will ressemble the default click handler located
in lib/OpenLayers/Layer/Text.js (markerClick), but it will use
createPopup(true) as opposed to createPopup().

Note: I've created a ticket for this (see
<http://trac.openlayers.org/ticket/738>) and attached the patch to the
ticket as well.

Thanks,
