Could easily be macOS specific. I ran this test on Sonoma 14.6.1
@rfindler reports that the bug is also present in v8.8, and that in 8.3 it does something worse, not allowing you to close the last window.
This could easily also have arisen as a result of changes in the OS, rather than changes in DrRacket.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in DrRacket on macOS 14.6.1 by closing all windows with cmd-W and pressing cmd-N. Trace the command handling for creating a window and verify that cmd-N opens a new window when none remain, without breaking the ability to close the last window.
