If I may add my experience to the debate:
I am also subject to similar problems (I am using Win32 and my processor is 
not an AMD).
->I control Python with Tkinter as in the example script and everything else
 (ie : Tkinter window included) closes when the Vpython window is closed.
->I am using SPE as an IDE and if ever I want to test the script currently 
under edition by hitting the 'run' command, it will run properly but if the 
Vpython window is closed, the whole IDE is also forced to exit.
->I have a script that lauches a Vpython window and then drops to an Ipython
 interactive shell in order to let the user choose different functions. If 
the Vpython window is closed, the Ipython session also terminates. On the 
other hand, if I use the Ipython shell to raise a SystemExit, the 
interactive session itself terminates but not the original script that 
launched everything (and the Vpython window keeps running as long as it is 
not closed).

As mentioned by the original poster the option to disable the close on exit 
feature does not seem to change anything to the problem.

Hoping the input is of any help,
