InfoWindow closeclick event in GoogleMaps V3 being fired too soon?

Hi,

I am noticing that the closeclick event on InfoWindow is being called prior to InfoWindow display in Google Maps V3. Has anyone else seen this? Bug? My misunderstanding of design?

Consider the simple example:

<html>
  <head>
    <meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" />
    <style type="text/css">
      html { height: 100% }
      body { height: 100%; margin: 0px; padding: 0px }
      #map_canvas { 
                  }
    </style>

    <script type="text/javascript" 
            src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"
            > 
    </script>

    <script type="text/javascript">

      function initialize() 
      {
        var newLatLng = new google.maps.LatLng(47.620513,-122.33963);

        var myOptions = { zoom: 12,
                          center: newLatLng,
                          draggingCursor: 'pointer',
                          draggableCursor: 'default',
                          mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
                          };     

        map = new google.maps.Map(  document.getElementById("map_canvas"),
                                         myOptions);

        google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'click', function(event) {
          placeMarker(event.latLng);
          });
    }

    function placeMarker(location)
    {
      // Create new marker
      var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
          position: location, 
          map: map
      });

      map.panTo(location);

      markerWindow(marker);
    }

    // Prompt new event marker form
    function markerWindow(marker)
    {
      var infoHtml = "testing";

      var infoW = new google.maps.InfoWindow({});

      infoW.setContent(infoHtml);

      google.maps.event.addListener(infoW, 'closeclick', closeMarker());

      infoW.open(map, marker);
    }

    function closeMarker()
    {
      window.alert("closeclick fired");
    }

    </script>
  </head>
  <body onload='initialize()'>
  <div id="map_canvas" style="   position:absolute;
                                 width:400px; 
                                 height:400px;"
                                 >
       </div>
  </body>
</html>

If you run this example, closeclick will be called prior to the displaying of the InfoWindow, not after it's creation and upon pressing the 'x' button in the upper right hand corner of the InfoWindow bubble. Is this is a bug (theirs or mine) or am I misunderstanding the design/use?
