The TextEdit behavior might actually be the OS silently closing an unused application that implements the necessary hooks for saving state and indicating when clean-up is required on termination. That behavior was introduced in 10.7, but IIRC, can be disabled by the user.

Worked for me... Mountain Lion 10.8.1.

    1) Opened TextEdit
    2) Started a document
    3) Closed document (Cmd-W)
    4) Switched to Chrome
    5) *poof* TextEdit disappeared

No, Lion exhibits this behavior for me. Close last TextEdit window, switch to another app, see TextEdit silently go away from the dock.

It's immediate. Doesn't happen on Snow Leopard, for me.
