Answer 1

I used console.log(self.close) and traced it to these lines in InnovaStudio's istoolbar.js code:

me.rt.frm.contentWindow.closeWin=function() {
    me.close();
};
me.rt.frm.contentWindow.close=function() {
    me.close();
};

So, thinking that IE9 may not be seeing the close() for some reason, I changed my code to use closeWin():

$('#InternalLinkSelector').find('a').click(function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    $this = $(this);
    (opener ? opener : openerWin).oUtil.obj.insertLink($this.attr('href'), $this.html(), null, null);
    self.closeWin();
});

Now it works!
