Meanwhile I succesfully compiled jhandles 0.3.5 with octave 3.2.4 (with the 
usual problems to make it find jogl and its native libs) on opensuse 11.2.
The problem you have on windows does not appear here it simply works and no 
exception when creating or closing plot windows happens, so I cannot help here 
further.
My knowledge about compiling octave and/or packages on windows is rather 
limited and tends toward zero.
I hope one of the windows people can jump in and help you.
