Finally, is this really a close bug?

No, its a Fernando bug 
plot returns a list of Line2D instances. Perhaps you mean
fig = figure()
plot(range(10))
close(fig)
It's OK, you can stop hitting yourself on the head now. Actually, the
error message would have been more helpful if it reported the type,
which it will do in the next release.

No, it's a John bug I also had tried that, and this is what I get with TkAgg:
In [4]: fig=figure()
In [5]: plot(range(10))
Out[5]: [<matplotlib.lines.Line2D instance at 0x4110494c>]
In [6]: close(fig)

611 elif isinstance(arg, Figure):

--> 613 if manager.figure==arg:
614 _pylab_helpers.Gcf.destroy(manager.num)
615 else:
AttributeError: FigureManagerTkAgg instance has no attribute 'figure'
Which is why I thought it might be the other way around. So this may be a backend-specifig bug.
But still a bug
