Thanks,

I was already calling OpenLayers.Event.stop(evt); and added return false 
for good measure, but without success.

I just found another symptom that might be relevant, which is that this 
behavior only happens UNTIL I do a click drag on the map, then it 
behaves as expected. Opening a popup that causes a pan does not fix the 
problem.

Sorry I meant to post the url in the last message:

To reproduce:

enter an address like: 11 radcliffe rd, n chelmsford, ma 01863
click Go
Click on the Red Marker you will get an aqua marker where you click, 
click on the close button and you will get another aqua marker.

Now, reload the page and repeat, BUT after you click Go, do a click drag 
first and then will not get the extra markers.
