The better alternative is only one extra window, assuming it doesn't tax the system too much.

You've got a good point here.
Yeah, two windows would be nice if it's viable (and I don't know if it is or not).
If not, I think a warning (with an option to turn it off, maybe) about the link intended to open in a new window opening in the same window would work okay.
As it is now, though, smiley boxes and anything that wants to open in a new window doesn't work, so something should probably change.
