Upon further investigation, I realize the problem is caused by closing the infowindow in the click handler without stopping the propagation of the event. Because you close the infowindow, the event goes directly to the map instead of passing through the infowindow which blocks the map from handling it.
So, if you are determined to call infowindow.close() in the onclick handler, you'll need to first stop the propagation of the DOM event. I did this by changing your onclick handlers from onclick='do_thing_3();return false;' to onclick='do_thing_3', which will pass the event as the first argument. You can then call stopPropagation on the event (and set returnValue = false; for IE). You can read more about event propagation here: http://www.quirksmode.org/js/events_order.html Hope this helps!
