I think the problem was that there was no easy method for your to properly
close a poll via JS. You don't close a poll by modifying the poll (this would
not send a closure message out to the network,f or example) - instead, a poll
closure is actually a new message which propagates through the network and
marks the (existing) poll as closed.

I just committed a change which adds a MsgBase.close_poll() method. Try using
that to close a poll and it should work as intended.
