OK, so it's a long title...
I noticed that in the multi-tab approach to getting a new account set up and signed in, there is a moment when the original email/Verify tab flashes during transition from diresworb back to the RP.

Steps:
1. Use Safari for all activity, including email verification through webmail (this is tab 1)
2. Open beta.myfavoritebeer.org (this is tab 2)
3. Click on Sign In, which opens Diresworb/sign_in in a new tab (this is 3)
4. Enter a new email and click Verify
5. This should change tab 3 to say "We sent you an email..."
Now 3 tabs are open.
6. Back to email and click on the verify link. This should open tab 4
7. Tab 4 should change to a "Congratulations you are now signed in...."
8. Close tab 4.
9. Close tab 1 if needed (email)
10. Sign In goes into a "hang" condition (separate issue)
11. Go to tab 3 (We sent you an email....)
12. This tab screen will flash back to email field plus Verify button right before clearing and closing out
13. At this point, you should be returned to the beer site and be signed in

So, the bug shows itself in set 12, when you get a flash of a "closed" tab before the tab is actually closed.
(I hope that makes sense)
