I also had this issue. The fix is fairy simple if you're a technical user:

• Chrome Preferences
• Extensions
• Chromeless Browser -> Details
• Source -> Loaded from: -> click the url, opens a finder window
• Find background.js and open it in a text editor
• Comment out the if block starting with: if (!lastWindowSessionID) {
• Save, close, and restart the browser (or reload the extension)

This was evidently added to fix some other bug that I've never experienced (#59) but it ruins usability if you're using Chromeless to split out complete browser sessions instead of an app container.

Note: Sadly, these changes are lost if you "repair" a Chromeless installation, so chasing Chrome version updates (if you use custom icons, as I do), is an exercise in frustration.
