Due to the way scroll events are handled in X today, there's no way
around this. The scroll events are generated in the X input module,
which has no idea of what is really going on on the desktop. One could
say that your application should see the closure of a tab and then
ignore all scroll events until scrolling stops, but scroll events are
handled as button presses so the X client doesn't know when scrolling
has stopped. This issue can also be found in OS X where you can do
similar things.

The goal is to replace X input module scroll events with utouch gesture
events. These events can know about the window hierarchy so they
terminate when a window is closed. The gestures also have a start and a
stop, allowing the utouch client to stop handling a scroll gesture when
the tab has closed until the gesture ends.

Because there's no real resolution to this issue in the current
toolkits/X, I'm closing this as Won't Fix.
