[R] tcltk crashing R after the (ab)use of tkwait

Running this:

library(tcltk)
tt <- tktoplevel()
done <- tclVar(0)
but <- tkbutton(tt, text="OK", command=function() tclvalue(done) <- 1)
tkpack(but)
tkwait.variable(done)

works as fine as long as I click the OK. However, if I close
the window (by clicking in the X), R enters into an infinite loop
and there's no way of returning except by closing the R window.

Why? What am I doing wrong?
