Ah-ha. So, if you set:

dom.allow_scripts_to_close_windows

to true in about:config

the following then does what I want:

epiphany "javascript:window.open('http://mail.google.com/', 'Gmail',
'toolbar=no'); window.close();"

This is gross and ugly but it'll do for my launchers for now ;) As I
said in the previous emails, though, I'd urge the ephy developers to
think about how this might be done better during this release cycle.
